Haiku: ‘Bloomsbury Setting’

Pavements’ sodden steps
Gold leaf alabaster squares
Forster crying Woolf

Haiku: ‘Sound of Thunder’

I can hear rumbles
It may be thunder, or not
Shouts in the distance

City of changes
Melding of hope and nightmare
Pasts drawn in future

I should be at school
But the teachers are all dead
Harsh reality

Dare to dream of peace
Dare dream of lasting justice
Dream reality
