The May 2016 issue of Quadrant magazine contains two of Andrew’s poems–“Café Senryu” (which is a three-senryu set) and “Pond Tanka” (which is a two-tanka set). “Café Senryu” is reproduced below:

 

Cafe Senryu

 

          i

Upmarket café—

looks like I’m the only one

without a gym pass.

 

          ii

At the next table

two well-manicured women

whining and dining.

 

          iii

For a bigger buzz

the mating flies plunge into

my cappuccino!
