Mostly haiku, but I also dabble in cats, flowers, pretty things, and probably accounting.

I few years ago I wrote a tongue-in-cheek guide to writing literary haiku called "How to Write Bad Haiku."
It also has a picture of the late great Jabberwok, who was tortoiseshell with white patches, and whom I miss.
Enjoy!

I have been haunted a a passage from Pascal this week.

Man is but a thinking reed, capable of being crushed by the universe, and conscious of that, knows he is wretched.

But that makes us better than the universe, as the universe does not know what it does.

The fun thing about this comic is you can replace “Einstein” and “physics” with “any leader in your field” and “your field”.

Text: Out of the darkness, flashing bars of red and blue, followed by the black, avian-like forms of two Typhoon fighter jets, emerge and glide side-long towards our plane.
