Looking through my files to find something brief to test-print on my new printer, which is giving me trouble, I found these haiku, which must have been written on a winter day in the middle of a lockdown. They could make a sequence, so I thought I would share them. I used ‘tailfurs’ because blogging cats always have ‘furs’ rather than ‘fur’. Which makes more sense, really.

my dreaming cat
his tailfurs twitching
his nose

winter Saturday
rainforest sounds
by Alexa

two parrots
on Google search window
chatting

the short
and the long of it
Covid day

a faint hum
through double glazing
red car parking
