Pact

Headline news
Sensational story;
All about you.

~~~~~~~~~


Truth speaks plain
If only we...
Learn to listen

~~~~~~~~~


Words follow words
Into a swirl;
Too much, too late

~~~~~~~~~


Old neighbour
Bold man of seventy;
Knee replacement

~~~~~~~~~


Playground ventures
Kids stumble at play;
Trial-and-error starts

~~~~~~~~~


Parents and maids
Hovering around;
Chit-chat and follow

~~~~~~~~~


Tai-Chi master
Superb fitness shows;
Flexible e-motions

~~~~~~~~~


Aerial bird's eye view
People crawling below;
Circle an anthill

~~~~~~~~~


Mini United Nations
Yellow, brown, black and white;
Basketball court match

~~~~~~~~~


Voice of the morning
Sparrow capella;
Choir of three

~~~~~~~~~


Lovely escapades
Dreamtime melodies;
Afternoon siesta

~~~~~~~~~


School talk to kids
Why be a writer?
Do what you love

~~~~~~~~~


Quiet conversations
Eye to eye we talk;
Words promptly absent

~~~~~~~~~


SG 50 conversation
Prepare to prepare;
Tomorrow arrives now

~~~~~~~~~


Question me Why
Ask me How;
Yes, I don't know

~~~~~~~~~


Time unfurls
Hidden agendas;
Surprise windfall

~~~~~~~~~

Hi Leon. Wonderful haiku. "Time unfurls Hidden agendas; Surprise windfall" absolutely correct "Aerial bird's eye view People crawling below; Circle an anthill" The birds are lucky. "Words follow words Into a swirl; Too much, too late" Hmmm! This makes sense.. LOVE xxxx RAJAT
