Little haiku prompted by Bartholomew Barkers’s Fraiku: Traveling Through The Dark
Storm rages on
Lights go out
Night sky comes alive
Shakespeare published 154 sonnets in his quarto in 1609. While the initial 126 are addressed to a young man, the final 28 are directed toward an enigmatic woman referred to as the dark lady.

Little haiku prompted by Bartholomew Barkers’s Fraiku: Traveling Through The Dark
Storm rages on
Lights go out
Night sky comes alive
Just spreadin’ the good stuff…..
I read your ‘Earth Poem’ and was reminded of this….
Take One Home For The Kiddies
On shallow straw, in shadeless glass,
Huddled by empty bowls, they sleep:
No dark, no dam, no earth, no grass –
Mam, get us one of them to keep.
Living toys are something novel
But it soon wears off somehow.
Fetch the shoebox, fetch the shovel –
Mam, we’re playing funerals now.
Philip Larkin
