More Crude English Hijacking of
the Honourable Haiku Form: Dolls
Itinerant
Toy Story
Patchwork
and Dim, were
bought
in a boot-sale but
sold
on for a song.
Jack
Always
a wind-up;
mad
for terrible music
and
out of his box.
Russian
dolls
All
of them pretty
and,
except for the small one,
well-rounded
and stacked.
Russian
Doll
Opening
in two,
gathering
my daughters to
my
pear-shaped belly.
Not
that kind of Action Man
Eagle-eyed
seargent,
but
not green-beret enough
to
take off his pants.
Porcelain
Pam
Delicate
features
but
just the extremities.
Body
like a sponge.
Dummy
Ventriloquist’s
prop
destroying
the illusion
bleeding
from the ass.
Laid
in Wales
Yellow
daffodils
will
always remind him of
antibiotics
