WATER'S BRIGHT WORDS - A QUANTUM HAIKU created for bBc tv

Poem written on beach balls randomly rearranged, with Griff Rhys Jones for BBC2 documentary, WHY POETRY MATTERS. Also performed live at Royal Festival Hall, London, with live audience on National Poetry Day: see Photo Gallery.
This is my second quantum haiku - the first is QUANTUM SHEEP. The starting poem is:
WINGS DANCE THE AIR WAVES.
BENEATH, SILVER SPARKS - FISH,
WATER'S BRIGHT WORDS

There are over 40 million possible poems from this one, with eleven beach balls.
