************************************
the arrivals gate -
scanning the faces, the heart
beats faster. "that's her!"...

a holiday of a lifetime later...
-------------------------------------
...the departures gate,
a final embrace - and joy
soon turns to despair...

(17 Syllables x 2)
Who doesn't like a 3-liner? (Quite a few of you don't, apparently.) Well, I'll have you know that many a critic has said of my work "at least it's in English" - and as for the great Stephen Fry, he once said of me "Vincent who?" Let's just say I supply the litter to the litterati [sic - but only at times] - ie: I write rubbish. But rubbish mostly inspired by the HAIKU, the 17th Century Japanese verse form consisting of 3 lines and 17 (5-7-5) syllables. (WARNING: flash photography and limericks)
