Spot Haiku 23 Part 2 of 4

i.
"Sick in bed" torpor
Earth moved - I didn't care
"body found with cats"

Cathy Dineen

ii.
This encrouching haze
Through these days that leave me hazed
Stupid old and phased

Simon Patience

iii.
ex-boyfriend shows up
remorse and apologies.
where is my backbone?

Cesca Alice

iv.
Pope goes the weasel
pawning false hope for lost souls
a man and his myths

Ian Row

All the Country Roads
Can lead me away from home
Working for the man

Seven haiku based on the speed dating activity during work's planning day

Date no.1:
she sings!
All of a sudden you make sense
One more of 'us'

Date no.2:
you're too pretty
to be interesting
too bad

Date no.3:
I like you
Don't even care if you're lying
Silver tongued sweetness

Date no.4:
I point out
your sense of irony
and win you with mine

Date no.5:
my self consciousness
speaks, stringing a platitude
Words worth at arms length

Date no.6:
I meander an
assessment of you - and undo
myself en route

Date no.7:
you've got balls!
things you don't say to a woman
But I'm man enough

Reflection:
extending to you
I build a bridge to myself
You get what you give

Riverbank Mortality

An old man fishing
asks fate for a life to take
but please, not his own.
