Haiku

haiku is defined
as seventeen syllables
five seven and five

she wrote a poem
in seventeen syllables
to create high coup

his failed attempt
after much laboured thought
came to nought

More Haiku lines follow with no titles ...

flower unfolding
slow saunter to centre stage
flaunting her colours

..............................................

a bright top spinning
her dramatic trailing dress
entrancing diamond

..............................................

electricity
radioactivity
nuclear debate
