Haiku
misty mountain peak
the murmurs of leaves cover
a shrike's lair
morning sun
fish pens sit crisscross
at the lake
billows of smog
the moon's blanket assumes
a grayish hue
afternoon game
from a camouflaged nook
I warily peek
I move back
not to engage
stray dog
my last sip
of black coffee
morning drizzle
summer vacation
a plump chicken fumbles
along the way
naughty whispers
between champagne bottles
a wink
table for two
the bonsai plant
is silent
noontime heat
a sudden downpour drowns
our silence
scorching heat
golden narra flowers
dance in the air
sweltering heat
even the birds scamper
for shady cover
summer sale
not a single shopper
leaves the mall
summer trip
the dusty road leads
to swimmer's haven
vacationers
our shack, empty
and abandoned
summer hideaway
in the Infinity Pool
I wallow
billows of clouds
cover the clear sky
summer hiatus
summer getaway
the white-sand beach
beckons
