BLAIRGOWRIE — Local poet Dougie Kerr has begun a haiku for each diverted stop on Services 63, 58 and 71 during the A93 resurfacing, posting them on a laminated sheet at the library.
“Seventeen syllables is about how long you wait,” he said. “Sometimes.”
The council has not commissioned him. He does not mind.
