Newly cut grass Fresh fragrance; A scented dawn ~~~~~~~~~ Plumeria sunrise Yellow and red; Abundance flowers ~~~~~~~~~ Daylight springs Sharp streams blazing; No more darkness ~~~~~~~~~ Strange winding path Etchings of patient feet; Lost round the bend ~~~~~~~~~ Daybreak Blurry eyes dart; Suddenly aware ~~~~~~~~~ Time and space greet The morning sunrise; Promising agenda ~~~~~~~~~ Joy calls my name In birdsong whispers; A smile glides ~~~~~~~~~ Coffee brew signals Day time manoeuvres; Awareness ingests ~~~~~~~~~ Talk of weather Dark clouds hover; Umbrella panorama ~~~~~~~~~ Morning deluge Work day commotions; Another day screams ~~~~~~~~~ Zen garden stroll Anchor mindful feelings; Icy air draught ~~~~~~~~~ Frangipani tree Old and autumnal; Mellow motions ~~~~~~~~~ Traffic congestion City bound people; Precise distractions ~~~~~~~~~ Somnolence lingers Awareness seeps slowly; Awakening blots ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 09 May 2015 Singapore

Leon, I'm wondering if you are a published haiku-ist. You are amazing. Forever *SKAT*

Dear Skat: No, not yet. I am considering a book of haiku for publishing. Thank you for your kind words. Just to share my haiku experience, I normally observe things going on here, there and around. Then, I let the thoughts and feelings simmer for some time, say days or months. When, I sit down to write, I don't have an agenda. I just sit and wait. Then I start writing from blank on my iPad Air. Most of my haiku fragments just come out as they are, 99 percent final. Yes, I go with the experiential feeling and the words and ideas align in an outburst. No fuss, not too much trying, but the haiku must be gently nudged. That's why I prefer to write a haiku string. These ideas ooze freely. And so many different ideas. Thank you Skat for your support. Leon
