Sitting
waiting
contemplating
sitting
alone on a park bench
for time to change
waiting
in sweet sorrow,
time is so slow
contemplating
life’s pure joy
moving too fast

She looked beside her on the bench beside where her feline friend was falling asleep all comfy in her bed. Just as she raised her phone to show off her friend, it was as if she had antennae…
respect is key
feline courtesy when asleep,
do not disturb!
She resumed her reading and glanced now and then, envious of her little friend who had drifted back so easily to another world…

dazed and confused
catnap’s treasured dreams

winters spent
making fun outdoors,
taste anew indoors
winters spent
under the first full moon
skating on the lake
making fun outdoors
skiing and tobogganing
giant snow angels
taste anew indoors
Saki by the fire
savouring Basho

shiny streets
wet from rain in midwinter
real slick

city streets at night
shiny from rain
palls real solitude

chasing snow parks
refusing to believe
winter rain is real

church steps oblige
safe shelter for homeless man
staging real life

Daily Moments Jan 9 2016 – Haiku Horizons “Real”
after months at sea
docking home at last
finds his true love
ragoût et tourtière
souvenirs de ma grand-mère
bien-être retrouvé
saisie par l’arôme
cannelle et chaussons aux pommes
souvenirs de son passé
scents cast memories
apple pie and cinnamon
found from her past

Such weakness of body pulled her down throughout the day; she tried to read to no avail; writing a line or two would have been a paramount success but with feeble mind the words were lost in a fog; she completely lost track of time.
cruising in sleep
around the clock and then some,
sailing through time

Troiku is a new haiku form created by Chèvrefeuille, my haiku mentor at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai
Troiku
let down by the rain
four days `til Christmas
still hoping for snow
let down by the rain
grey clouds of dismay
shadow blue Monday
four days `til Christmas
four more chocolate delights
kids’ advent calendar
still hoping for snow
downy white coverlet
covers Mother Earth
