The Weekend Australian newspaper published Andrew’s haiku sequence, “Mosquito Haiku”, in its “Review” pages on 26-27 July 2008.
Mosquito Haiku
i
Might as well tow
a bright sign as that high sound,
doomed mosquito!
ii
A round of applause
for the mozzie skywriting with
sound instead of smoke!
iii
Off and on all night,
a miniature winged syringe
disturbing my dreams.
iv
Ha, that mosquito
just heard the mystical sound
of two hands clapping!
v
I’m the only one
here—so it must be my blood
in the mosquito!
