Underground (First Nine Haiku's in a new series on facebook - Late August 2020)



(I)
Out of tune busker
Pausing for a few moments
Opens up a beer.

(II)
Pausing for its breath
The train can’t look back turning
Away from the guard.

(III)
Getting off the train
You almost turn back round to
Get straight back on it.

(IV)
Stepping from the mist
You feel like you are stepping
From a dark film noir.

(V)
Pausing suddenly
you think briefly getting off
your pass is at home.

(VI)
On the way off you
Pick up a paper before
dropping in the rain.

(VII)
Back from holiday
Your bag won't stay on the rack
Wanting to go back.

(VIII)
The wind pushes you
Down the platform like it is
Wants off it quickly.

(IX)
Entering August
At your stop your train
Overfull doesn’t stop.
