These are poems in the syllabic form of Haiku but otherwise they make no attempt to be authentic Haiku.
I
haiku strong simple
complete poem in three lines
five seven and five
II
cheeky wattle bird
outside the grey brick building
playing unconcerned
III
red white blue and green
yellow and orange and black
oils on a canvas
IV
purple blue and grey
thrown together without thought
an artists’ nightmare
V
blue sky above me
below a concrete jungle
blending or clashing
VI
mist rolling away
normality returning
replacing stupor
VII
rapt concentration
the extraneous ignored
the artist at work
VIII
bubbling from beneath
filtering slowly upwards
churning the surface
IX
soaring high above
going where the wind takes it
free and unfettered
X
Just a change of state
or loss of vital essence
evaporation
XI
night following day
nightmares following daydreams
death following life
XII
G’day ‘ow are ya?
What ya doin’ tonight luv?
Same to you ya bitch.
XIII
Little black boxes
lying in discarded piles
waiting to be filled
XIV
One energy filled
One ready to fall asleep
Aftermath of love
XV
Thousands of fine strands
Woven together to make
A thing of beauty
XVI
The ticking of the clock
Reminding me that I
Live according to time
XVII
Breaking the silence
With painful intensity
Eerie haunting cry
XVIII
Angels and devils
Vampires spirits and wizards
Mythic existence
XIX
Precise dogmatic
Highly opinionated
Officious bastard
XX
Fitting together
With absolute precision
So compatible
XXI
Logic emotion
Existing together or
Forever apart
XXII
Flowers on the wall
Distractedly merging with
Designs on the floor
XXIII
How incredible
To find that what was a dream
Has become a fact
XXIV
Corners compartments
Forced into their own niches
A pattern of life
