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)

more stir-fry than Stephen Fry - or just plain half-baked?...

my sense of direction - it's gone west (or is it south?)

('17 Syllables plus' re-mix - just an old favourite of mine which came up in conversation the other day, now included for nostalgic reasons)

from nuclear reactors to over-reactors? - let's hope so...
***************************
"atmosfear" - you can
sense it when radiation
gets into the air...
***************************
- here's hoping very few clouds have need of that silver lining...
I was in Sendai some years ago; loved Japan - my heart goes out to them. There are no words - how do you describe the indescribable?...

Teacher's whisky...
*******************************************
when I was at school,
booze went straight to my Head: he'd
confiscate the lot...

(he was probably the only guy I knew whose pupils were both taught and dilated)
