Easter Haiku

Incense wafts
amongst the silent crowd
a loud sneeze out

eggless breakfast
in her little backyard
a yellow chick tweets

last day of lent
sharing  pea-soup
with a fly

Good Friday
the clack of rosary-beads
in the village square

Paul Callus Date: 4/18/2017 2:31:00 PM You provide us with four delightful images, Charm. The majority based on a Maltese ambience. I can imagine Sheila sneezing at the smell of incense:) I hope you had a lovely Easter. Regards // paul Login to Reply

Doug Vinson Date: 4/13/2017 8:54:00 PM Indeed, Charmaine. To me it feels like a half-silent world with images slowly and inexorably gaining color. Login to Reply

Chris Green Date: 4/13/2017 5:07:00 PM This was really nice Charmaine and funny at the same time. I like how you expanded on the Haiku you posted the other day with the rosary beads. And the fly in the soup is hilarious. All of it was great Login to Reply Charmaine Chircop Date: 4/13/2017 5:16:00 PM Fly in soup..True story..I dont want to remember...Yuk..Years passed and still cant forget..Goodnight and thanks for reading Chris.

Tim Smith Date: 4/13/2017 5:04:00 PM The incense gets to me as well Charmaine Chircop Date: 4/13/2017 5:02:00 PM The sneezing one was very embarassing..but Im sensitive to incense or scenting magic trees in cars :)....I really did sneeze in church when everyone was so silent ..grr:) Charmaine Chircop Date: 4/13/2017 5:01:00 PM The pea-soup one is a true story..Happened few yrs ago at Marks and Spencer..It was first day of lent not last..I ordered plain soup..the only thing I was going to eat..since I was fastening from solids..and this silly fly landed in my soup..It was time for me to leave..and remained Without the soup.:).Glad you enjoyed.
