Oh no! My laptop's broken!
Whatever can I do?
Thank goodness for my mobile;
At least I'll still reach you.
The laptop's in the hospital
at the shop where it was bought.
It could be gone a week before
it's right back where it ought.
I guess I'll have to manage,
I have always been a fighter
so out come all my pads and pens
- and faithful old typewriter.
Gutted when my 9 month old laptop just died the other day. Aren't things built to last anymore?
T onight
I cannot sleep
N ot a moment's peace have I,
N othing seems to stop it,
I have to wonder why. I
T ry to hear my breathing and
U nderstand the noise that makes me lose
S leep - but I haven't any choice.

Tinnitus ain't funny
but there's nothing I can do,
but listen to that ringing sound
all the long night through
Written just a day or two ago following a night where my tinnitus was particularly loud.
Don't you wonder why
'easy to assemble' means
headaches and tantrums!
I love writing haiku; it is my favourite poetry form.  It can be funny, tragic, inspiring - whatever I need it to be!  These five all came from a collection of mine entitled "I, Human" written in the early noughties.
"More cops!" we all cried.
"Invasion of privacy!"
we then relented!
We anticipate
our holidays and yet, we
love arriving home!
Each to his own - kids
in grandad shirts and grandads
in denim jeans!
So realistic!
Characters in soaps never
EVER watch the soaps!
