Ape-house at the zoo…
A great family outing:
screams, snot, candy floss.
*
Enjoying the garden…
Teenagers’ windows open,
loud music thumping.
*
Footballers swearing…
A Sunday stroll in the park
on the day of rest.
*
Walking on the Downs…
Free tickets to the air show,
mobiles ringing.
*
Reflecting on ears…
The miracle of hearing
and the art of quiet.

I dedicate this progressive haiku to one devoted dad who snatches moments from parenthood and cleaning sticky noses to write haiku and experimental fiction at graphitebunny.wordpress.com
