Plain Words

Window ledge song
Stray sparrows sing;
A choral duo

~~~~~~~~~


Rain drops slide
Blurry window view;
Furious stormy night

~~~~~~~~~


Not much to say
Old couple sit;
Passing people punctuate

~~~~~~~~~


Coffee maker sounds
Morning makeovers;
Caffeine fix retort

~~~~~~~~~


From this penthouse
Brief promontory;
Puzzling landscapes

~~~~~~~~~


Lovely couple
Youth presides;
Time will tell

~~~~~~~~~


Haiku moment
Zero metaphor;
Captured picture

~~~~~~~~~


Plain words
Tell not describe;
Look and see

~~~~~~~~~


Curious pantomime
Merge into a dream;
Fall into another

~~~~~~~~~


Joy waits
Sorrow appears;
Opposites reconcile

~~~~~~~~~


Eastern view
Western education;
Two worlds endow

~~~~~~~~~


Awakening
Awareness
Abundance

~~~~~~~~~


Bus stop queue
Gadgets in hand;
Electronic toys

~~~~~~~~~


Social media
Conspiracy theories;
Insidious intents

~~~~~~~~~


Girl and boy
Two whirls collide;
Fancy intervenes

~~~~~~~~~


Years have etched
Facial sculptures;
Deep wrinkles attest

~~~~~~~~~


Cite and recite
Write and re-write;
Nothing much

~~~~~~~~~


Opposites attract
To balance out;
Not much more

~~~~~~~~~


Curious wonder
Time runs away;
Not much left

~~~~~~~~~


Like attracts like
To boost buzz;
Ample estates

~~~~~~~~~
