Hay Festival 'Haykus' by Simon Armitage Hayku #2 The Johnson Spring brings forth its guests. Boris in the grassy quad: dandelion head. Hayku #3 The Wye All day the river draws its question mark. Answers on a postcard, please. Hayku #4 The Hunt Ducked the firing-line. But Jeremy, you promised the earth to the sky. Hayku #5 The Bookshop Ten thousand cooped up in one shed, battery-farmed. Let mine fly, oh Lord. Simon Armitage is talking at the Hay Festival on Monday 4 June at 7pm
