In honour of Valentine's Day, we asked Bristol students to compose a haiku in honour of something - anything- that they love. These were the results.
Ode to Jungle Vision @ Lakota
Two waters please mate,
My soul craves more BPM,
All junglists, unite.
2:36am
My yellow kitchen,
Empty after a party:
Tinnies and silence
Blue and white desire
You quench what is dry
My disk of metal comfort
Love you Vaseline.
Untitled
You got me so lit
Full artisanal bliss
Coffee, I love you.
Epigram / Kai Fukazawa
Untitled II
Your feathered ethers
Quilt me in a warm embrace
Ensconced in sweet dreams
Wishing well, I hope,
All the yearnings drowned in you
Rest, and let you sleep
Poison Love
Nike theas, you make
My heels bleed, but you are so
Wonderfully silver
From a matchbox to a match:
I’m STRUCK by your form
You belong inside of me,
Burning perfect match
The dig life
Trowels and steel-toed boots,
Love getting down and dirty,
Archeology
Epigram / Harry Coke
Ode to Donervan’s chicken burger
Biting thick, cheap buns
The perfect post-club date
Gone by the morning
An ode to hungover lunch
Can always smash some
Cathedral City cheddar
On a pasta bed
Untitled III
Sunset flash filtered
Over waves moving over
The edge at Land’s End
“Got a filter, mate?”
Just want a rollie
Baccie, rizla, check - and yet
Fuck! Lacking filters
Untitled IV
Noble other maps
Telling of people and places
Guiding the lost home.
