    How I wish I could,
    Create haikus like you lot,
    Sigh, must try harder.

    Rain and leaf mold scents
    Are gone. The day must be spent
    In electric gloom

    Mortar fire above
    Are they trying to hit me
    Did they stop to think

    Dave: notwithstanding
    your previous assertions,
    it was a bit bright.

    London: the big smoke
    Too far to go by bicycle
    Train or aeroplane?

    Round and round they go
    Which is not entirely right
    Because it's oval

    Pumped

    Pump is in the bag
    Flat will soon be full of air
    Damn schraeder only

    Oh, weekend traffic
    A friend awaits in Stockbridge

    Four lights fully charged
    Long socks and level five gloves
    Ride with friends at six

    "level five gloves"

    Not a concept I'm aware of.

    (But then I don't do 'outdoors')

    Level 1 - fingerless
    Level 2 - fine mesh back, leather palm, full finger
    Level 3 - thicker, full finger, not waterproof
    Level 4 - lightly insulated, waterproof Sealskins
    Level 5 - well insulated, waterproof Sealskins

    Thanks.

    I used gloves for the first time for months on Wednesday evening.

    (Probably 5)

    Yet dazzled by distant light
    Please, turn down the moon

    For chdot

    Although those Level 2 gloves have a weird rubbery palm. Quite grippy but odd.

    I have a pair of those level 2s. Although one of them is now so worn it's pretty much a level 1.

    Is there a level 6 where ski gloves become more appropriate or are they a sub class of 5?

    It feels cold today
    Perhaps outfit was a bad choice
    must buy Winter shorts

    Bright yellow SealSkinz,
    left ring finger half torn off:
    What level are they?

    four, no two, no three
    definitely not a five
    Oh I can't decide

    The window darkens
    And the screen glow takes over
    Did I charge my lights?

    Three massive stone slabs:
    Now lying at the path edge,
    Mind out in the dark.

    If overtaking,
    ensure space sufficient first,
    not just nip through, Dave.

    Dim all your lights please,
    Why do you need three of them,
    Oh you are a tram

    Three slabs now put back
    Hopefully, all cemented
    Two more left to go.

    Brand new chain fitted,
    now the cassette is skipping;
    non-stop maintenance.

    Canal hoar sun shines
    Glancing cobbled homophones
    Must a haiku rime?

    Nice, but to a chemist your second line has ten syllables.
