Haiku Blossoms

Rain washing wet Exit humid heat; Bamboo pines sway ~~~~~~~~~ Weary estate Rustic and ancient; Old people pace ~~~~~~~~~ Orchid stalks Crystal flower vase; Beauty adorns ~~~~~~~~~ Class reunion Familiar faces; Change intervenes ~~~~~~~~~ Old-time movie Once upon then; Romantic poise ~~~~~~~~~ Property market Doldrums percolate; Prices go south ~~~~~~~~~ Precious moments Fragrance lingers; Touchy feelings ~~~~~~~~~ Red light district Pretty birds ply; Ancient occupations ~~~~~~~~~ Evening descends Abruptly dark; Distant lights hurl ~~~~~~~~~ Fleeting surge Momentum flips; Emergent thoughts ~~~~~~~~~ By the wayside Weathered old man; Limping bravely ~~~~~~~~~ Haiku blossoms Plain fragment; Frozen experience ~~~~~~~~~ One by one Passers-by stream; Distant dream calls ~~~~~~~~~ Economic downturn Job loss escalates; Grizzly bear bites ~~~~~~~~~ Stray staccato Morning birdsong; Balcony solo ~~~~~~~~~ Seek then the way Live well each day; Be one with bliss ~~~~~~~~~ Cruise to nowhere Sea breeze salty; Modern distractions ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 30 April 2016 Singapore
