2 poems in Quadrant
.
The May 2016 issue of Quadrant magazine contains two of Andrew’s poems–“Café Senryu” (which is a three-senryu set) and “Pond Tanka” (which is a two-tanka set). “Café Senryu” is reproduced below:
Cafe Senryu
i
Upmarket café—
looks like I’m the only one
without a gym pass.ii
At the next table
two well-manicured women
whining and dining.iii
For a bigger buzz
the mating flies plunge into
my cappuccino!© Andrew Lansdown
