AN ANGULAR FIGURE: A SHISAN RENKU<br />
by<br />
Dick Pettit, Denmark<br />
Francis Attard, Malta<br />
An angular figure<br />
walks up the stubble field<br />
against the moon<br />
guides on stilts<br />
at the autumn festival<br />
hard to dislodge<br />
the puffed-up heads bobbing<br />
on water stalks<br />
trendy Vogue hair<br />
on a row <strong>of</strong> mannequins<br />
with shouts <strong>of</strong> glee—<br />
the ‘Vikings’ plunge<br />
into the winter sea<br />
a good beginning to New Year<br />
the sight <strong>of</strong> piping plover<br />
* * * *<br />
most <strong>of</strong> her sweethearts gone<br />
she thinks<br />
<strong>of</strong> a spouse<br />
as they hear the rare cuckoo<br />
he talks <strong>of</strong> his CDs<br />
a paper dragon!<br />
the kite sweeps a path<br />
down the glowing sky<br />
