In Reflections, RC Clermont uses the 'English' 17-syllable haiku form. In an age of too much information, Reflections deploys the 5-7-5 format to achieve brevity. Traditionally, haiku focuses on themes such as nature and the seasons In this collection of fifty 17 -sound haiku verses, RC Clermont has departed from this rule. Reflections comments on themes such as family dysfunction, particularly the consequences of relations' attempts to dominate their 'blood'. Other themes explored are: love and friendship, economic malaise and inequality, as well as the crass, crude, materialism of suburban England. Reflections also takes a swipe at capitalism, the shallowness of riches, and how money does not make people more respectable. Reflections also takes a more critical view of the green lawns and fairways of Middle England, and the bigotry and hypocrisy therein, as well as the hell that is the England football supporter. The English abroad are also observed at their worst. Reflections also delivers a critique on the stark reality of global politics and so-called democracy. Reflections is part of a series, and the first collection of poems is now available in traditional book format for the first time. and is also available in Amazon Kindle. Occasionally, there may be strong language
