| FIVE
EYES
In
Hans’ old mill his three black cats
Watch the bins for the thieving rats.
Whisker and claw, they crouch in the night,
Their five eyes smouldering green and bright:
Squeaks from the flour sacks, squeaks from
where
The cold wind stirs on the empty stair,
Squeaking and scampering, everywhere.
Then down they pounce, now in, now out,
At whisking tail, and sniffing snout;
While lean old Hans he snores away
Till peep of light at break of day;
Then up he climbs to his creaking mill,
Out come his cats all grey with meal -
Jekkel, and Jessup, and one-eyed Jill.

| HAIKU |
|
|
|
| |
 |
| The
haiku is a Japanese
form of poem consisting of only
17 syllables arranged in 3 lines
of 5, 7 and 5 syllables each.
It should express a single idea
powerfully. One of the greatest
exponents of the art of haiku
was Matsuo Basho who lived in
the eighteenth century. There
are presently two haiku societies
in the UK and a history of haiku
has been written. |

dutifully,
hears joy and sadness and life,
then bows and pours balm. |

star speckled cloak
is pulled over the whole world
swallowing all light. |
She
slips through alleys
A dark, doomed, silent figure
In smothering black. |
