I found a book of poems by Australian poet Jordie Albiston called “Euclid’s Dog” – all based on various mathematical algorithms. These are mine, following the Lucas number sequence (2-1-3-4-7) – but much less haiku-like than hers. It helps to pass the time.
walking out – loudly – no
excuse really – please don’t mind me –
it’s just the jazz is so….so-so
doo bebop – doo – scooby
doo bebop – doo bebop a lula –
does my fockin’ ‘ead in bebop mate
I wonder – why – asunder
and awry – my powers plundered dry –
my temperaments my humours my absence gone
down under – untouched – resistant
impervious impermeable – up the gum tree –
with cross bare anchor hove axe ground
paint me – sweetheart – second
that emulsion – the surface is prepared –
some weatherdamaged man will know your innermost
not butter – margarine – can’t
believe it – noone thought it possible –
the old ennui the royal brie encore!
