Hi. I think that the “unravelled city” haiku is my favorite of this bunch. See you!

I particularly like the one about the refugee and the one about the homeless man.

Nostalgia settles:
feelings, landscapes now evoked,
cityscapes once known

I love the miniature aspect of haiku, senryu and tanka, and these are fine examples. I also appreciated the couple of views of Bristol, a city I lived in for nearly half a century!

  Thanks, Dave.
  If you mean the words on the photos, I used Canva. Gill did her own photo, and I’m not sure what she used.
