This number is ‘lost‘,
This number’s lost it ‘bottle‘,
And this one’s ‘holy‘.
This number will ‘stand‘,
This number holds all the ‘jacks‘,
And this will ‘fiddle‘.
This is ‘Exeter‘,
This number’s in your ‘garden‘,
This one’s black as ‘coal‘.
The last one is ‘cock‘,
In Cockney slang for numbers,
In R J Clarke’s book.

Tuesday 17/12/1
In one minutes’ time,
The doors close and the train leaves,
Another day starts.
I found an old book,
Turned the pages for a look,
And saw myself there.
The pages brittle,
I turn with care,
Wond’ring if,
I will find you there.
Friday
Yes it is Friday,
Riding that train going home,
So good – time to write.
It is going well,
And I am still learning to spell,
One book at a time.

I found it hidden,
Buried deep,
not deep enough,
But the lock is big!
One word at a time,
Let it flow before you know,
You’re finishing up.
Trying to find time,
To write my book,
Complete it!
A work of fiction.
Here’s the evening sky,
Marbled blue and pink, I think.
It just appeared there.

Writing a book’s hard,
A lot of grind, and focus,
One page at a time.
The train heading out,
Trundles through burbs but who cares?
It is just that train.
Oops, left my notebook,
On my work desk,
what’s it say?
Depends who reads it!
Chocolate retreat,
Pretzels with nice salty tang
I rustle the bag.
Monday 22/04/19 Updates
Been updating it,
Intro page, categories,
Artwork and some stuff.
It’s a lovely day,
No doubt, and I have been out,
Enjoying its peace.
Will I do this book?
The question I’m now asking.
I’m enjoying it!

There’s a hope I have,
To finish this book this year,
It’s one for the shelf.
Someone may read it,
And find something there they like.
A picture maybe.
Politics gets old,
And the news is for today,
A book is timeless.

It’s not hard to do,
To each day, write a Haiku.
So, I’ll continue.
Challenges are good,
They make us think and react.
Some wrong, mostly good.
How will this year be,
There are changes, that’s for sure.
I’ll embrace it all.

It can be funny,
The way things turn out sometimes,
I like that a lot.
I’m reaching my goal,
Enough Haiku for a book,
Pictures too, to help it!
Saturday 13/04/19
I know it’s my thing,
It’s my daily discipline,
To write a Haiku.
There is nothing more,
Haiku, a book, and a blog.
Come along, enjoy!
