Aha Haiku

Morning drizzle
Drops of rainbow;
Colours dazzle

~~~~~~~~~


Weather contrast
Hot and dehydrating;
Sticky humidity

~~~~~~~~~


Lonely songbird
Dawn epiphany;
Lost lover's lament

~~~~~~~~~


New journal entry
Ring-bound folio;
Ink stain memory

~~~~~~~~~


Sleepy distractions
Lazy Saturday weather;
Bakery fragrance 

~~~~~~~~~


Towering monolith
War memorial site;
Our glorious dead

~~~~~~~~~


Relics of war here
Public cenotaph;
Never ever forget

~~~~~~~~~


City lights twinkle
Festive air prevails;
May Day holiday

~~~~~~~~~


Valedictory speech
Gratitude meets promise;
Ambitious plans

~~~~~~~~~


Squirrel zigzags
Sideways on huge trunk;
Midday amusements

~~~~~~~~~


Old friend visits
Home spun stories;
Catch-up laughter

~~~~~~~~~


Pretty lovely child
Charming glowing smile;
Curious ways attest

~~~~~~~~~

Dear Sara: Glad these fragments delighted you. Yes, I pass by this huge 100-year old tree nearby my house on the way to the shops. Sometimes, I see this brown squirrel and some days it's out of sight. I love squirrels. Thank you for your kind words. Leon
