Haiku Maze 13

Evening shadows Old tree aglow; Windy echoes ~~~~~~~~~ Sadness teary Wet wild night; Croaking frogs talk ~~~~~~~~~ Bills arrive Punctual as ever; Month-end poise ~~~~~~~~~ Happy face Frolic plays; Playground tease ~~~~~~~~~ Last words Hard copy left; Soundless grief ~~~~~~~~~ Last midday meal Nap time sleep; Gone in a breeze ~~~~~~~~~ Word draft awkward Craft unfinished; Writer's block ~~~~~~~~~ Dream flash point Forgotten fragment; Feeling unease ~~~~~~~~~ New penthouse Payment complete; Change of heart ~~~~~~~~~ Sleepy slumber Succinct snores; Curling caress ~~~~~~~~~ Weary wiles Silly smiles; Murky miles ~~~~~~~~~ Fitness freak Too much activity; Body pains come ~~~~~~~~~ Warring states Epic battles; Raw violence ~~~~~~~~~ Ice cream treats Young children smile; Sweet sensations ~~~~~~~~~ Old age pains Random strains; Alarming discord ~~~~~~~~~ Ancient tree Heritage value; Curious wonder ~~~~~~~~~ Walkway path Anxious feet zigzag; Alone together ~~~~~~~~~ Verse craft Strange draft; Too much stuff ~~~~~~~~~ Book reading Jazzy nuance; Author animates ~~~~~~~~~ Nightfall descends Abrupt dark; Deserted streets ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 29 March 2017 Singapore
