poem

early February

spaghettoni

on special offer

the world is out of joint

reform backlog

reform pressures

but what plans

are there for what 

only one option 

is obvious

here sphaghettoni 

with pesto

(AW, Feb 2026)

 

haiku

end of January

hidden plans

in roots and branches

(AW, Jan 2026)

 

haiku

winter dinner

rice white as snow

soy sauce to the pak choi

(AW, Jan 2026)

 

poem

the snow is gone

this city is ugly again

a poster tells

you can rent containers

a phone number is provided

and one wonders

what people put in there

(AW, Jan 2026)

 

haiku

winter's narrow gap

between twilight

and darkness

(AW, Jan 2026)

 

haiku

winter twilight

the pizza delivery man

quick back to his car 

(AW, Jan 2026)

 

haiku

this wintry world 

is reeling and people are

clinging to tea cups

(AW, Jan 2026)

 

haiku

wintry day 

turning on the news 

muting the sound

(AW, Jan 2026)

 

haiku

hoarfrost returned

the red glass

of the tail lights

(AW, Jan 2026)
