Haiku Moon

(Dedication: For Dave Wood, the Lyric Man) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Teary moonlight Flash from heaven; Lovers unite ~~~~~~~~~ Teenage lover boy Bus-stop waiting; Delayed arrival ~~~~~~~~~ Nicotine addict Puffing for dear life; Carcinogenic highs ~~~~~~~~~ Grass blades Protrude through cracks; Sidewalk stone slabs ~~~~~~~~~ College vacation Rowdy students arguing; Monsoon weather hurls ~~~~~~~~~ Housefly fly past Unceremoniously; Decadent visit ~~~~~~~~~ Stars decorate Night sky twinkling; Croaking August frogs ~~~~~~~~~ Anxious To-Do List Smudge of raindrops; Go with the flow ~~~~~~~~~ Crazy poet laughs Mad self-talk; Intoxicating grief ~~~~~~~~~ Back track then To nowhere far; Celestial timing ~~~~~~~~~ Words carved Old tree trunk code; Open secret ~~~~~~~~~ Grassy flowers Humble affirmations; Perennial song ~~~~~~~~~ Stray voices call In these woods; Bird song melody ~~~~~~~~~ Romantic ideas Dehydrated fruits; Winter sonata ~~~~~~~~~ Self-made home movie Unknown stars; Awkwardly famous ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 15 August 2014 Singapore
