I’d like you to have a guess. Here’s a clue, there are two and it’s not the obvious… it’s clearly haiku so what else?

I have a little update for you about the Benin Bronzes. If you haven’t listened to episode 5 of the series then you are going to be wondering what these bronzes have to do with haiku, so nip back an have a listen.

So I read a couple of weeks ago that the Netherlands are returning bronzes to Benin… A quote from a BBC report:

“The return of the 119 artefacts is the “largest repatriation of Benin antiquities”, said Olugbile Holloway, director-general of Nigeria’s National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM).”

snow in the yard –
on the stonecutter’s bench
a film of dust
