No.6

spring sunshine

the kitten and her shadow

lie down together

at our store of nuts

for the birds, a tiny mouse

scurries away

between each wave 

crashing on the rocks

a moment's respite

childhood memory

waking to the sounds and smells

of gaslit breakfasts

steam clearing slowly

from the bathroom mirror

an old face takes form

turning a corner

the redness of the poppies

field after field

sunset at the pier
the creaking of timbers
wind in the rigging

at the dolls' party 

we sit on the grass

drinking invisible tea

trailing in the stream

the willow branches gently

sway in the current

The last one here is of course not a haiku. It has 9 lines and each of them has 4 syllables. Just a bit of fun!

sitting alone at the party 

in a corner

during a lull 

this is my chance

I clear my throat 

they turn to me

I hesitate 

I say nothing

-o0o-
