Haikus

As part of my OU Writing course, I have come up with some Haiku's regarding various places I have lived or worked.

MILTON KEYNES
The city murmurs to itself,
"We are a major terrorist target"
as if anybody's fooled

READING
Licks of paint and branding
The scruffiest family in the street
has won the lottery today

MIDDLESBROUGH
Stark steel bridges over Tees
Rundown terraces, chippy but stout men all,
Not much but its home

BICESTER
No sheep in the street
named after them, no market for cattle
either, the soul has gone

KIDLINGTON
The longest straightest road you've
ever seen, numerous pubs, high street
not worthy of the name
