Haiku To Share Like Chocolates
If you like my work just like it or comment please
I couldn’t do this haiku thing; it just never works for me.
Yet here I am; I mastered it—wonderful poetry!
So cheer for me; I did it at last—share me like chocolates with friends.
Maybe I will be quite famous; no one knows what’s round the bend.

A system that isn’t working? Now? In 2026? ONE system? My favourite system that isn’t working? The sexiest system that isn’t working? The one giving me the most angst day to day? The one giving me the most existential dread? I am, as I say, finding this difficult. I will own that I have contemplated writing a thousand words on why the steady “all on” setting on my fairy lights is the EIGHTH of seven options which must be sequentially activated to get there, because that is a system that some fool came up with and it definitely doesn’t work, and now who is paying the price, eh? But how can I write about my fairy lights when…. When…. When….
