1/. People bring me down Like escalators While I want to rise 2/. Deceptive blue sky Caught out by severe ground frost Curses my warm coat 3/. Timetable nonsense Limbo is a cold bus stop Feeding on patience 4/. Hillary plays Top Trumps With Donald while Lincoln Cries, America 5/. A tribute Haiku To earlier Limbo piece Been waiting all night Arthur Chappell

@arthurchappell I agree. My friend and I are both voting for her but vowed never to listen to her speak.

All of them are great - as always! Boy is #4 most appropriate at this time or what. Oh no! Have you been writing these while waiting at a cold bus stop?

@much2say not while at the stops but I do seem to spend way too much time in such circumstances
