August Haikus
Rainy weather
Unpredictable;
Drenching everything
~~~~~~~~~
Mother and child
Dance with drizzle;
Laughter and giggles
~~~~~~~~~
Happy lives here
In my house;
A welcome guest
~~~~~~~~~
Chinese ghost festival
Lunar seventh month;
Wandering spirits tour
~~~~~~~~~
Prayers and offerings
For dead ancestors;
Win-win situation
~~~~~~~~~
Church calendar
So much happening;
May lasting peace abide
~~~~~~~~~
Gaza strip conflict
Nobody wins;
Both sides suffering
~~~~~~~~~
Wars do not end
Peace comes to the dead;
All else is Hell
~~~~~~~~~
Love is the cause
Of life -- and life
Embraces all
~~~~~~~~~
Words intervene
Hijacks silence;
Elegance signs
~~~~~~~~~
Exuberance oozes
Fond passion moves;
Artistic postures
~~~~~~~~~
August in tears
Sun on vacation;
Wet masquerades
~~~~~~~~~
Emotional departure
Gone forever;
Death is relentless
~~~~~~~~~
Bedtime story
Repeat broadcast;
Night after night
~~~~~~~~~
50 shades of grey
Nothing erotic;
Hair strands on bald patch
~~~~~~~~~
Speak softly
Death's at the door;
Don't disrupt business
~~~~~~~~~
Change
Strange;
Deranged
~~~~~~~~~
Moon glow magic
Through dreary air;
Eerie anti-climax
~~~~~~~~~
By that stone bench
Distant Chinese pavilion;
Ghostly presence
~~~~~~~~~
Giant moths circle
Waiting to die;
Messy debris
~~~~~~~~~
Dreamy moonlight
Mid-autumn surprise;
Moon cakes and desserts
~~~~~~~~~
