from BLUE
from the pub sways
a choir, tied and suited,
on a cloud of aftershave
Nigel Jenkins
Blue is a collection of haiku. Nigel Jenkins was my poetry professor in Swansea, and I honestly think he is a very accomplished wordsmith, equally at home in haiku as in structured forms with rhyme and meter. I think this is a perfect haiku: economy of language, but you can see and smell the image. It’s also very Welsh.
