"The Siren, by Mike Horne
(this haiku was inspired during a visit to Bridlington: the call of the sea, the sound of the waves breaking on the shore, the noise of the pebbles being sucked back into the clear blue waters, the gulls gliding in the blue sky, the wispy white clouds...)"
Seaside tranquillity,
An ambulance rushes past:
Nee Naw, nee naw, nee.....
