Bamboo Veil 2

Hot humid air
Raindrops punctuate;
Rainy rhythm sums

~~~~~~~~~


Teatime chat
Two old friends;
Ideas escalate

~~~~~~~~~


Old estate tour
Catchup gossip;
Weather highlights

~~~~~~~~~


Essays aerate
Symbols tell;
Profound charade

~~~~~~~~~


Stray hallway music
Blues singer croons;
Long-forgotten tune

~~~~~~~~~


Bad mojo
Vile rumours show;
Sick charades

~~~~~~~~~


Protest march
Human outcry;
Demands echo

~~~~~~~~~


Detect plight
Risk in-flight;
Who is right?

~~~~~~~~~


Angry words
Clash of wills;
Compromise dead

~~~~~~~~~


Death hurls
Forced entry;
Sudden departure

~~~~~~~~~


Memory swipe
Not much here;
Dying embers

~~~~~~~~~
