with sharp ticks of key board taps

Trending September Day 16

no summers
just Caribbean breezes
no winters either

fallen blossoms
on the paved walk

leaf cutter ants
they have a mind of their own
carrying cuttings

some faithful ladies arrange
vases for their church altar

automatic doors -
the intimated welcome
to grocery shoppers

persistent honking of horns
Sunday cooking gas sellers

polling day
the longest lines
for stained fingers

delicious! watermelons
did i mention, the red team won

kiskadee
this bird singing out its name
kis ka ke ee ee

as if the night was too long
an earth tremor before dawn

fragments of peace -
one aeroplane flying high
two grackles low

in the cooling of evening
to sit on the back steps nice

caterpillars
the way they cling sun or rain
comfort of leaves

in the torrent of raindrops
memories childhood paper boats


❧✿❧


near palm fronds wave to
distant verdant mountains

after many years
from opposite directions
to meet in the street

TIME OUT
first snowflake, the front door slightly ajar
a howling wind, i curve into my conscious self
Santa his cherry cheeks, mall decor delights
a familiar face oh, but no smiles in cold weather
hot chocolate, cinnamon sprinkled marshmallows
subway passengers, head scarved coat wrapped
gifts in gift boxes, no extra paper wrappings
relatives, names etched in each post card sent
busy bees phone to say, see ya next time
numbers dates flights, airport signs and waves
three syllables at Arrivals Counter, returning
in the reality of greenness, hankering for home

Today's note - time


time in haiku, if stated calls to mind for many an instant, and freezing it in time; while haiku is mostly written in the present tense, it spans a spectrum of existence and incidence - past, present, and yes future


I invite you to share some of your expertise on time with me
