Haiku conceived at the agricultural show
Mare with foal at foot
Tower of maternal strength
Grand dam of the shires
A beautiful Shire Horse with her foal at the Agricultural show at Winterton, Lincolnshire

Quodcumque facis
Ibi tecum adero
Ubicumque vadis

Can anybody improve this line without altering its meaning?

The strawberry moon
And the setting sun made love
On midsummer night
In the magical gloaming
Of a celestial rite

Starlings in new livery,
Trill his cold advent

Alas! The misuse of modern technology.
‘Hi! A computerised voice says that I qualify
For a new boiler under a Government scheme’
Beware of geeks bearing gifts.

Moth-footed, watchful,
Despair haunts the penumbra
Of the human mind.
