Haiku Path 1

December rains Hurl aqueous tears; Salty aftertaste ~~~~~~~~~ Monsoon season Wet and wet again; Abrupt mood swings ~~~~~~~~~ Seek knowing Beyond word count; Awareness sums ~~~~~~~~~ Wet market lanes Slippery slimy walkways; Jerky footfalls splash ~~~~~~~~~ Bargain hunters Black Friday sales; Mob mentality ~~~~~~~~~ Hot tea brew Random conversations; Drifting away ~~~~~~~~~ Rustic tea house Aromatic fragrance; Poignant deluge ~~~~~~~~~ Elemental harmony Geomancy fortifies; Feng Shui master ~~~~~~~~~ Jigsaw puzzle Mystery unravels; Fumble finds fit ~~~~~~~~~ Zen garden landscape Urban renewal; Haiku path stillness ~~~~~~~~~ Lunch crowd loiter Naked hunger rumbles; Feasting interlude ~~~~~~~~~ Sexy slim cigarette Nicotine flames flash; Smoky surrogate ~~~~~~~~~ Wayside vendor Newsy progress; Piecemeal collisions ~~~~~~~~~ Boy of four Pounding iPad universe; Savvy disposition ~~~~~~~~~ Playmates Playground; Pretty paces ~~~~~~~~~ Sleepover Makeover; Stopover ~~~~~~~~~ Roadside vendor Poor farmer smiles; Empathy consolidates ~~~~~~~~~ Hibiscus flowers Red for good luck; Flashy sunlit smiles ~~~~~~~~~ Temple tour Ancestors await; Mindful conversation ~~~~~~~~~ Change manifests Simply succinct; Leftover memories ~~~~~~~~~ Web portal Too much glut; Information overload ~~~~~~~~~ How come? Why now? Much too late ~~~~~~~~~ Be still Change reveals; Transact transit ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 12 December 2016 Singapore
