Haiku Surreal 5

(Dedication: For Anne-Lise Andresen.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Instant recognition
Blind attitude:
Sees more than enough


Despair reveals
An ugly side:
Indifference


Little by little
Sounds like a lot;
Hole in pocket


Witty lingo
Awkward tango;
Messy tempo


Learn quickly now
Wear a keen smile;
Screen faces you meet


Joy in sadness
Paradoxical frame;
Picture postcard sent


China in spring
Natural hymnal sounds;
No voice imitates


Peace in the valley
Nothing profound;
Extra plus ordinary fence


Haiku in season
Vivid frolic;
Wild things grow


Small child speaks
Profound sermon;
Hello uncle


Old uncle smiles:
How are you?
Small child hides face


Casual encounter
Familiar face pops up;
Crowded places fence


Birthday thoughts:
Song of morning --
Rapture illuminates 


Fifty-nine revolutions
Around the sun;
Celebrate miracles
