Things are, understandably, a bit busy for me at the moment. But a number of inter-flat hunt coffee breaks have given me the chance to scribble a couple of contributions to the haiku meme started by suvrat.
Have drill, will travel
The young geologist sighs,
Switching homes once more
Paleomagic.
A black box that very few
Choose to peer inside.
Many others have also revealed their hidden poetic depths:
Julia
Kim
Bryan
Geotripper
Silver Fox
Short Geologist
A Life-Long Scholar
Lockwood

I like both of those - glad you had the time to write them!
Best wishes on the flat-hunting thing.

A body decays;
Sediment accumulates;
A fossil is born!
