HAIKU BLOOMS #1
Sense buzz here
In simple lot;
Cheer lives fine pun
~~~~~~~~~
Life knows the brave
In harsh terrain;
Smiles sculpt sense
~~~~~~~~~
Bamboo leaves sway
Dance with stray breeze;
Wet rain brushes
~~~~~~~~~
Two black birds
Sit and watch;
High wire act
~~~~~~~~~
Brown squirrel
Runs up and down;
Zigzag curious
~~~~~~~~~
Black cumin seeds
Sweet honey surge;
Bitter black cuppa
~~~~~~~~~
Lemony brew
Aqueous spill;
Hydrates well
~~~~~~~~~
Hint of rain
Moist air aglow;
Flash of lightning
~~~~~~~~~
Sleepy moves
Body so weary;
Pre-dawn darkness

I got disobedience So equally on my behalf,
I wish that sometimes i wasnt so negative driving on the wrong path,
Cant really conquer much my accomplishment sucks,
Because I haven't been Taught properly on how to love!.
So many days I replay my Thoughts,
And so many days I get multiple faults,
They keep accusing me of stealing and touching,
But I touch what i havent,and i take whats not mine,
Because i havent been taught from the adults,
To guard only whats mine,
But exactly What can i claim if I have not 2 extra Lifes in my Life to direct my playing,
Parent to parent is not only a memo but its a saying!.
I need you!.
One angel Matthew
Saw, outside the tomb, inside
Mark seen one angel
Luke and John seen two
Inside the tomb they saw both
It’s a perspective
We come to conclude
The same account, differing
Seen and believed it
Perspectives, what one
missed one accounted for
There's no problem
The nay-sayers will
Say the Bible is in err
Who are they to say?
Omniscient God
Has decreed it to be this
Way, who can contend?
Let the man who can
Answer the rhetorical
Question posed to Job
In-directedness
Speculation evasion
That is their tactic
Specification
Delineation is the
Way, Truth and the Life
Confession, repent
All you naturalist-ers
Again say repent
Science does not have
A monopoly on all
things, it can't account
For ethics that's a
Christian world and life view
Abstractions known
Borrowed to make sense
Of a view all natural
Laws don't grow on trees
If my ancestor’s
A rock, am kin to a stock
Complexity? Not!
When and where did I
Become aware of myself
(Subatomicals)?
When and where and why
Did ethics (we use) arise?
Be Trinity wise
A three-year-old calls out
Her Dad, he said something bad
Justified? Repent
The land uncovered
A new land is discovered
Flood waters assuage
(Nu-u's (kin) and canoe
Fuhi, Cox Cox their cogs too
That's Noah to you)
Spread the Gospel to
A land that is out of hand
A land that's rebrand
Usurper attacks
The women and children first
In a land, athirst
Opening Himself
The Door, Gospel Waters pour
From a new wineskin
Alpha and beta
From Alpha and Omega
(Words don’t return void)
Street alley stalls
Tourist bazaar fare;
Souvenirs to go
~~~~~~~~~
Seasonal fruit
A yearly dessert;
Duku escapade
~~~~~~~~~
Old colonial shophouse
Freehold property;
Modern facelift
~~~~~~~~~
Business cycles dash
Yesterday's bubble tea;
Today's cafe glitz
~~~~~~~~~
Shopping arcade
Organized pandemonium;
Electronic extravaganza
~~~~~~~~~
Bread and toast
Shopping mall happenings;
Cafe pondering
~~~~~~~~~
Old haunts call
Flavours and tints;
Urban oasis
~~~~~~~~~
Congested roads
Peak hour traffic;
Air-con consolation
~~~~~~~~~
Morning kungu-fu dancers
Graceful as swans;
Dreamtime exhibits
~~~~~~~~~
Busy feet carve
Grassy footpath;
Shortcut route across
~~~~~~~~~
Urban renewal
Unstoppable excavations;
Traffic clutter shows
~~~~~~~~~
October heat wave
Haze for added flavour;
Smoky suffocation
~~~~~~~~~
River boat ride
Clarke Quay encounter;
Delighted tourists

Cicadas celebrate
Wet Monday evening;
Frogs for company
~~~~~~~~~
Sun falls down
Evening supplication;
Sleepy earthlings rest
~~~~~~~~~
Moody intersection
Traffic congestion;
Decorative city lights
~~~~~~~~~
Speak in silence
Night owl hoots;
Silent night
~~~~~~~~~
Notice the stillness
Greeting with calm;
Voice beyond voice
~~~~~~~~~
Walking by old house
Collective memory tints;
Melancholic shades
~~~~~~~~~
Once again dawn hurls
Birdsong melody;
Bay window serenade
~~~~~~~~~
Gifts and presents
Magnificent food spread;
Come Lord Jesus
~~~~~~~~~
Sea of faces
Hungry expectations;
Festive moods
~~~~~~~~~
Balcony view
City lights glimmer;
Night sweeps away
~~~~~~~~~
Once again dusk
Ushers restive sighs;
Wine and good music
~~~~~~~~~
Misty rain dance
Children exploring wetness;
Laughter echoes
~~~~~~~~~

Joy speaks
Sorrow listens;
Seasons change
~~~~~~~~~
Look beyond cast
Find present here;
Live now moment
~~~~~~~~~
Blank faces zoom
Sea of busy buzz;
No time to stop
~~~~~~~~~
Haiku insights
Words fact the act;
Observe the gaze
~~~~~~~~~
November moon
Tells in blue light;
Aquamarine reveal
~~~~~~~~~
Curl of fond smile
Wet hair drizzles;
Bath soap perfume
~~~~~~~~~
Friday headlines
Chaos escalates;
Somewhere out there
~~~~~~~~~
Go beyond thought
Live motions sense;
Being broods
~~~~~~~~~
Jigsaw puzzle
Lovely unknown;
Wit funds fit
~~~~~~~~~
Cozy ambience
Touch of fancy;
Delicate form
~~~~~~~~~
Bourgainvilleas eclipse
Withered flowers droop;
Too much rain
