Haikus // 2024

Bit of a slower year for haikus. I’d be lying if I said they were daily. I got engaged! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

9th January

Blueberry yoghurt 

Fresh gut-bound bacteria 

Penicillin death

.

28th January

Apple Vision Pro

clings to his head; face hugger

Simulacrum of eyes

.

2nd March

Hot spring water thrown

Upon his steaming father

Young boy is scolded

.

22nd April

Sicilian sun

beats down on solar panels,

lemons, and olives

.

15th June

Back in stomping ground 

Squat cinemas and canals

Cow bar off Hooigracht

.

19th July

Oh no! Crowdstrike’s down

Blackout for traders and flights

Some things can stay gone

.

28th July

Flu-like symptoms seep

into my Twin Peaks dreaming

Haunted lumber mill

.

18th August

Peripeteian

An attempt to look clever

Not really a word

.

23rd September

Not a noise complaint

I don’t care if your dog barks 

You neglect it, mate

.

16th November

Has anyone seen 

a black cat with big green eyes?

No, not that black cat

.

Last year’s haikus

And the one before that
