Baby Grand Piano - Haibun / Haiku
A couple of weeks ago, I took a Friday off to have a long weekend. Being a beautiful warm hazy afternoon, headed out for a bite to eat; indoors. Having shown my covid vax cert, sat and ordered. After the first sip of a nice Sicilian dry white, eyes glanced left . . .
An antique baby grand piano, with faded fake musical score on it's stand. Nice breeze came through the open patio doors. In came a monarch butterfly, who proceeds to dance along the ebony and ivory. Then departs as quick, free and happy.

DAWN - Haiku
dawn shivers awake
sun barely rising in east;
dog scowls at back door
dog scowls at back door
neighbours cat scenting the yard;
pour another cup
pour another cup
this morning's sweet elixir
coming from Peru

Face Mask - Haiku
blue face mask tumbling
down the desolate side street;
busker setting up
blue face mask tumbling
down the dingy wet side street;
sleeping bag on ground

Following Tide - Haiku
on an empty beach
I walk the full length of strand
tide follows me back
on an empty beach
I walk the full length of strand
stench of the seaweed
on an empty beach
I walk the full length of strand
company of one

Golden Sands - Haiku
golden sands sparkle
other side indigo bay
summer sun at last
golden sands sparkle
other side indigo bay
lazy wind admires
golden sands sparkle
other side indigo bay
sitting on warm rock
