The Elements of Splendor
Haiku 1
Fireman
The fire stood no chance
Fireman Hunt was on attack
Hunt stood on fire’s death
Haiku 2
Hate’s Attack
The air was crispy
It was set ablaze by hate
Cooled by love’s tears
Haiku 3
Edge of the World
I ran to Earth’s edge
The abyss cried out to me
I turned away
Haiku 4
A boy and his Fish
The mermaid swam alone
She met a boy named Tommy
His kiss gave her legs

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.
