Published haiku in Sketchbook July 2012



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
