Code of Conduction

This is a second adventure into this form of Japanese poetic verse. Again partly to inform (me), and also to hopefully entertain, and perhaps nudge the reader into finding out more about the people mentioned. Mentioned here in brief, but they are all inspirational, even Wan Hu.


As to the style of verse, haiku is a poetic form, a distillation
of detail into seventeen syllables, three lines, punctuation,
and those wonderful gaps between words
 

These small pieces of poetry try to encapsulate these strict
windows of interpretation, and few do the subjects the
justice they deserve
 

In this booklet of around seventy pieces of verse part is meant for fun, a momentary distraction, with abstraction to other parts, they may try and mean more.

 

This book is videly available from eBook and Epub retailers.

Sample verse

Beatrice stopped the fighters falling

Shilling engineered
safe inverted Merlin flight,
Brookland petrol head

am i a bird flying


i touch gentle air,
one
finger
tip
at
a
time,
cold threads lift away

forgotten nights of mist 


the snow fall of moths
summer evenings screen smeared,
come see the last bloom
