A Haiku Notebook - written by Tim Chamberlain
Leaf 222 – Senryu (or witty, tom-foolery)
S.R. Badmin - Winter Pastoral
There’s something about this little poem which always reminds me of Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast (1950).
The pheasant, flapping his wings – like a schoolmaster in his gown.
The pheasant,
flapping his wings
– like a schoolmaster in his gown.
