Kudos to Us!!!!!
(i)
A year in haiku's,
Annal of Five-Seven-Five;
Syllabic journey.
(ii)
An exercise that
Has bound us together, through
Words and photographs
(iii)
Now we must let go,
Relinquish this hashtag and
Savour the moment.
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialAnd so we face ...

A year has passed by.
Have we learnt a thing or two?
Writing is hard work.
This little corner,
Or '17thoctober',
Is forever ours
Two lives in haiku
It's one year two people lived
A cast of thousands!*
@deluxday.bsky.social16.10
Phew, going to make it..
Words and clouds collide,
Whilst cars are confined in lines,
Underneath the Sun.
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialAs the clock prepares to strike midnight on our haiku year, we wonder where the bodies lie ...

"In blood stepped": so far
The only clue to this crime
Was a brogue, size 9
@deluxday.bsky.social15.10
Agreed, it's far too warm for this time of year.
Home to a card from Caz;
Inside this card lies
A message from Her to Me —
For our eyes only.
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialIt's October and it should be cold.
The jumpers have made a comeback, more through habit than habitat, as this season is yet to bite.

Autumnal warming -
Well, whether the weather, there's
Jumpers a' jumpin'!

Sixth Form Open Evening for Dexter...
Making big choices:
Feel the expectation of
Parents & Teachers...
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialBack at work, feeling a bit short of a length on a flat wicket ...

Bit of a loose end
Suffering a subtle lack
Of inspiration

"Blessed are the big noses!" (Life of Brian).
Love these little testimonials from former students;
Words from the heart that
Whilst Anonymous, speak of
Courage and new hope.
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialDo it. It's done.

I rarely edit
A stream of consciousness flows
Bypassing forebrain
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialTying up loose ends.
12/10
A lifetime, packed up
Five bags and a red suitcase
So much more than this
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialThanks, Luke, for your kind words and message earlier to K. Its been weird . . .

Odd, flat, discordant
Weird, sharp, cacaphonic
Day out of kilter
@deluxday.bsky.socialWe send all our love and condolences to you, Karen, Dylan..😢

Calendar Girls (& Men!) photo shoot for Mask Theatre this morning. We bared all, for a good cause!
For the Month of May,
I bared all, modesty masked
By foliate head!
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialSorry, its been a difficult couple of days and the haiku slipped my mind

When Death saddles up
He'll bring all your memories
For a final ride
@deluxday.bsky.social10.10
Happy Birthday my Wife!
Fifty seven years
Of existence that has made
The World a better place.

A haiku-ready postcard,
From my postcard pal.

I'll give up coffee
And consider my diet
After this croissant
@deluxday.bsky.social08.10
Collecting willow branches for Sunday's photo shoot:
By the riverbank,
Willow in hand, like Dido –
''Upon wild sea bank."
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialOne of those mythical "Days Off".

A day of resting ...
... but for the shopping, cooking, ...
... and the washing up ...
@deluxday.bsky.socialBetter polish her chrome in recognition then!

The fifteen year old

Possible next steps...
