Rowing in Eden.
Ah, the sea.
Might I but moor
Tonight with thee!

That's lovely Stef, I just looked on PoemHunter for some more of hers and there are over a thousand! Amazingly prolific. I struggle with one a week!

I was just thinking:
"I've not written a haiku
For quite a while now".

I have a bad case of haiku block :o Driving to and from work in the dark isn't helping :(

Haiku is a relaxed state of mind. It'll come back. :)

I'm just enjoying a load of John Cooper Clarke on youtube. I've never heard of him before until yesterday, but he's fantastic. Thanks for the introduction.

Best i can do tonight
Chasing a new job today, hope i can up the pace,
Feeling jaded, but i'll not quit,
One door shuts, another opens:)
