A public deceived
Shall provide succour to the
Insatiable beast

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Seasonal change stirs
Late winter's afternoon sun
Warming the chill air

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Metal shaft snaps as
Rubber and steel strike asphalt
Pothole wins again

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Sports commentators
Relentlessly excited
By the most mundane

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Enshrined in marble
Marcus Aurelius was
Cast in stoic bronze

#haiku #poetry #senryu

In the reflection
I'm reminded of the child
Under the surface

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Pompous parasite's
Palace privilege plummets
Prison pass pending

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Darkly dodgy Dave's
Deviant depravity
Disturbs decency

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Desperate to dodge
Descending digits of doom
Surprised spiders scram

#haiku #poetry #senryu

An ocean of rain
Cumbrously rolls east leaving
Blue skies in its wake

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Pearl beads fall like tears
From the silver birch branches
On the forest floor

#haiku #poetry #senryu

On the barren plain
Like stars that fell from heaven
Quartz crystals sparkle

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Seldom considered
So swiftly becomes crucial
When you find it gone

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Upwardly mobile
Digital nomads prefer
Brighton to Blackpool

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Timeless mosquito
Available for purchase
Adorned in amber

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Callous indifference
Integrity costs money
The "Leadership Team"

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Under stormy skies
Pilots endure dreadful wind
Flying through rough air

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Yesterday's routine
Tomorrow's prized possession
Take my Penny Black

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Tenacious tendrils
Threatening the thoroughfare
Time to tend to them

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Old oak floor boards creak
Old man climbs his bed to sleep
Old bones groan and squeak

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Infant without voice
Long disciplined to conform
Forever servile

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Rails shudder and shake
As the train thunders onward
Dragon in the night

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Gusts blast coastal marsh
Weathered boardwalk sways and creaks
Amongst sedge and reed

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Summer's sunflowers
Once magnificent in bloom
Winter's bent and bowed

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Through rolling grey cloud
A narrow fissure reveals
Endless blue above

#haiku #poetry #senryu

One step at a time
Builds confidence through practice
To overcome fear

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Meandering cars
Negotiate potholes on
Broken Britain's roads

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Mother's fingers dance
As I lace my daughter's shoes
All those years ago

#haiku #poetry #senryu

Too much faith in a
Surveillance society
Watching eachother

#haiku #poetry #senryu

This wasn't intended to be a social commentary on your country, but I can see how you might misinterpret it that way. Nor is it, or do I, 'support' your current regime... it's simply an observation on people's behaviour, be that good or bad.
