red sky in morning
a V of birds flying high
over West Lomond


S. O. S. phone stop
wouldn’t want to be stuck here
on this boring road


windsock sign tells truth
windy nature of Scottish
temperamentalness


no wonder this road
has no cultural reference
it is shit haiku


Edinburgh straight
Milnathort, Sterling exit
Aberdeen behind


Loch Leven near by
that’s where Mary Queen of Scots
went to her wee jail


road is busy now
this man behind me’s light’s out
could lose licence soon


Dunfermline, Rosyth
next exit will be my one
Inverkeithing slip

again the pips pip
every hour is women’s hour
a murmuration


I see a sign post
Castleton shop and café
wonder if it’s good


thought it might be good
the creative A90
an un-mined resource


did you hear that joke
about the magic tractor
turned into a field


honda civic there
used to like them as a kid
now I think they’re shit


back past West Lomond
second sighting since morning
a beautiful place


Kelty and Dollar
must be reaching the Fife sign
oh there it is now


five hours spent today
driving this dull motorway
little been achieved


tourist info sign
about to pass my old school
Divit attraction

A90 Haikus

The road between Aberdeen and Inverkeithing - a combination of the M90 (Inverkeithing - Perth) and the A90 (Perth - Aberdeen) is one I have driven frequently.
Here is a collection of Haikus written during a drive from Fife to Aberdeen and back :
