Holiday Haiku

Here are some verses I scribbled down while sitting on our hotel balcony one morning, while Philippa was still asleep:

Austria is nice
especially when you’re with
the person you love

The mountains stand high
their snowy peaks symbolise
the height of my love

I have a feeling
Philippa and I abroad
will happen lots more

Ski-ing is not me
But I have to admit this:
Ski suits are sexy

Sometimes haiku sucks
But for writing poems, it’s..
..the best I can do

Will we get married?
Will we always be a pair?
Seems likely to me
