Excellent! I prefer the non-strict form or what Kerouac called the American Haiku: three lines, devoid of poetic trickery with a pop at the end.

Love this – there is a cottage I wrote about near me which inspired a short non-fiction piece a few years ago. The images are still with me.

Is the non-fiction piece available to read anywhere?

Not at the moment – but I must remember to include it if I do a collection of stories sometime. Thanks for asking :>) I never realised how destructive ivy could be until I saw the inside of the ruin, which your pic and poem reminded me of.

Glad you liked it. I do find the non-strict haiku to be rather liberating, and I might work on a few more in the coming weeks.
