at the sufi tomb
wandering stars

drifting from one god

December’s Laureate of Words Show, 17th December, 2025 6pm on FC Radio, Plymouth, UK

------

Audio recording/reading of my following haiku on Halloween.

deserted alley—
the gargoyle’s red eyes
darting at me

-------

stained glass
a spider wraps its web
around the ghost

-------

witching hour
the moon’s crater turns
into a werewolf
