Aha Haiku 8
(Dedication: For my PoetrySoup
friend, Lenny Gazbowski)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cozy comfort
Silky bed linen;
Somnolence sums
~~~~~~~~~
Humid heat wave
Hot sticky sweat;
Fatigue brines
~~~~~~~~~
Thought in deep sway
Philosophy flings;
Wit sums humour
~~~~~~~~~
Love the first-cause
Life dances brisk;
Symbiosis
~~~~~~~~~
Start here
Live now;
Death sums
~~~~~~~~~
In this moment
Eternity hurls;
All-in bet
~~~~~~~~~
Too late now
Old man yearns;
Death's one leg in
~~~~~~~~~
Waiting time
Long clinic queue;
Off-flavour faces
~~~~~~~~~
Smiling old man limps
Terrier runs around;
Barking commands
~~~~~~~~~
Morning repast
Make smiles curl;
Silent conversations
~~~~~~~~~
Less talk is more
Everyone agrees;
Loud chatter boxes
~~~~~~~~~
Bamboo saplings
Promises to keep;
Haiku moments
~~~~~~~~~
Being blooms
Becoming grooms;
Now empty room!
~~~~~~~~~
Zen garden moods
Configured space;
Meditative
~~~~~~~~~~
Old man stares
Moon struck smiles;
Soliloquy
~~~~~~~~~
In my dreams
Mother smiles;
Father sips beer
~~~~~~~~~
Heart thinks
Mind feels
Cross over well
~~~~~~~~~
Green grass verge
Floral beauty hides;
Unseen glamour
~~~~~~~~~
