Haiku Passage 9

Evening cicadas Cacophony climax; Night time music ~~~~~~~~~ By this playground Noisy frolic parades; Little feet gather ~~~~~~~~~ Haiku moment: Brief promontory, Dragonfly buzz ~~~~~~~~~ Raining non-stop Wet moments splash; Umbrella parade ~~~~~~~~~ Aqueous verses Heavy pieces drowning; Pouring rain recites ~~~~~~~~~ Walkway cobblestones Busy footfalls conspire; Old man ponders ~~~~~~~~~ Odd faces Cellphone conversations; Bus-stop queue ~~~~~~~~~ Gone away Cannes vacation; Stopover at Nice ~~~~~~~~~ Fruit serenade Plate ready-to-eat; Delicious desserts ~~~~~~~~~ Dazzling confections Sensuous delights; Ice cream scoops ~~~~~~~~~ Dangerous curves Sculptures of art; Calligraphy unfurls ~~~~~~~~~ Beauty walks by Curious eyes watch; Attraction sizzles ~~~~~~~~~ Midnight buzz Moon hiatus; Darkness greets raindrops ~~~~~~~~~ House hunting Viewing prospects; Curious query judges ~~~~~~~~~ Glimpses here In a new light; Dawn brings gifts ~~~~~~~~~ By my bay window A grand view; City lights tell ~~~~~~~~~ Cheer cascades House warming party; Hope wears well ~~~~~~~~~ Poignant posture Mindful moments move; Stretching sway slants ~~~~~~~~~ Yoga trance Body dance rituals; Graceful ecstasy ~~~~~~~~~ If you must ask The master said; You do not know ~~~~~~~~~ Plain words tell Potent fragments; Haiku presence ~~~~~~~~~ Dynamic Plain telling sculpts; Balance firms form ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 21 September 2017 Singapore
