Leon Enriquez Poet Haiku

Aha Haiku 22

Park bench encounter
Old man staring;
Faraway look

~~~~~~~~~


Financial district
Business downturn;
By this fringe

~~~~~~~~~


Stormy evening
Rain flows like oil;
Lightning dazzles

~~~~~~~~~


Lift landing
Blank faces congregate;
Alone together

~~~~~~~~~


Wind on my face
Rushing home;
Rain water wets

~~~~~~~~~


Somnolent interlude
Cricket musical;
Deep dark night

~~~~~~~~~


One by one
Bougainvilleas wither;
Floral carpet

~~~~~~~~~


Pre-war terrace house
Old time architecture;
Four bougainvillea pots

~~~~~~~~~


Bus stop crowd
Two others plus me;
A long wait

~~~~~~~~~


Chinese barbecue pit
Chinese roast meat shop;
Long customer queue

~~~~~~~~


Unique antiques
Old proprietor smiles;
Curious shop sign

~~~~~~~~~


Fashion parade
Glamour girls waltz;
Runway postures

~~~~~~~~~


Beer and buzz
Evening outing;
Boozy conversations

~~~~~~~~~


Parkway passage
Playground gossip;
Maids chatter

~~~~~~~~~


Hymn of morning
Birdsong choral;
Lost in translation

~~~~~~~~~


Huge ancient tree
Witness to change;
Silent sentinel

~~~~~~~~~


Humid overtures
Sun without wind;
Temperature runs riot

~~~~~~~~~


Chit-chat moment
Old lady neighbour;
Market trip

~~~~~~~~~


Weary legs struggle
Heavy load in tow;
Footsteps homeward

~~~~~~~~~
