Haiku
summer sunshine
windows in the city
twinkle
powder
tresses
of acacia blooms
yellow moon
Moselle
valley
leaves unfurl
on the grapevine
vespers
from the monastery
evening stillness
cumulus clouds
form castles in the sky
summer noon
after a downpour
jasmine
scents the twilight
ancient city
buildings curve
new pavements
hand
motionless
over a box of popcorn
suspense
silence
thickens the waiting room
the clock stutters
sunlight
illuminates a slate roof
thunder clouds loom
coal fires burn
smoking the city skies
pale moon
dawn chorus
birdsong competes
with his snoring
jets
chalk
a cross in the sky
church bells toll
summer stroll
my shadow ahead
competes with me
wet woodland
footprints overlap
on the forest trail
