Sometime in May I saw an opportunity to enter a competition for writing Haiku (a japanese form of poetry with three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables per line). I am fascinated by the tightness of focus this structure requires so I thought I'd enter. The entry fee went to the Oxfam Coronavirus Emergency Appeal, so it was in a good cause. The theme was 'Lockdown'.

This was my entry, together with the photo that inspired it.
Much to my amazement, I heard that I had been included among the 131 shortlisted entries. Such a nice surprise to get while we were out sailing.
