Haiku Path 2

Obituary pages
Check on old friends;
Another bites the dust

~~~~~~~~~


Too bad
So sad;
Too late

~~~~~~~~~


Book of poems
Cryptic TS Eliot;
Madness stirs blur

~~~~~~~~~


Bamboo garden
May shadows play;
Butterfly lovers

~~~~~~~~~


Odd venture
Quaint adventure;
Fuzzy gestures

~~~~~~~~~


Hospital visit
Antiseptic fragrance;
Recovery sleeps

~~~~~~~~~


Old man sits
Park bench conversations;
Talks to himself

~~~~~~~~~


Old woman grumbles
Talks to an unseen friend;
Not quite alone

~~~~~~~~~~

TV mini-series
Couch potato addiction;
Reel-life feels good

~~~~~~~~~

Words on rice paper
Not much today;
Haiku path trip

~~~~~~~~~


Sorrow speaks
Joy listens;
Different views

~~~~~~~~~


My dearest sighs
Detects dessert;
Stressed reversed

~~~~~~~~~


Word outburst
Too much to follow;
Ignorance sleeps

~~~~~~~~~


Word for word
Messy business;
Vacant strains

~~~~~~~~~


Lots to do
Go to sleep;
Bedtime stories

~~~~~~~~~

Good day Leon! What a lovely string of haiku you have put on offering! All are very good, but the two about the old man and woman have an extra touching feel. Hope you are keeping well! // paul
