Haiku Passage 7

Floral motifs Nature glows; Scented space ~~~~~~~~~ By the quay Noisy seagulls; Crazy chatter ~~~~~~~~~ Seaside tryst Lovers serenade; Sunset hurls dark ~~~~~~~~~ Wayside flowers Beauty unnoticed; Violet miniatures ~~~~~~~~~ Old man Miniature dog lost; Sad eyes moist ~~~~~~~~~ Playground children Frolic plunders; Touch of magic ~~~~~~~~~ New book here So much to read; Happy pleasure ~~~~~~~~~ Journal page So much happening; Bullet points enough ~~~~~~~~~ Words assemble Unfurl new cites; Why write? ~~~~~~~~~ Plain odd draft Craft to credit; Merits stern edit ~~~~~~~~~ Allusion speaks Much more than hints; Subtle allegory ~~~~~~~~~ Night shadows Dance with light; Midnight wind howls ~~~~~~~~~ Day is done Late night snooze; Dreams on rampage ~~~~~~~~~ Sleep talking again: Clash confronts Pleading mercy ~~~~~~~~~ Wise words wade Tough times trade; Meek moods made ~~~~~~~~~ Odd patterns here Lewd lines laze; Pungent posture ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 28 July 2017 Singapore
