Five Haiku with Tea

1.
Rainy afternoon—
a broken silk umbrella
lies in the gutter.

2.
How placid the cat
curled seemingly forever
in the old man’s lap!

3.
How satisfying
to drink clear, cool spring water
from a clean white cup!

4.
In darkness the hills
hold lurid conversations
with the river stones.

5.
Autumn advances—
the maple’s leaves turn crimson
without fuss or noise.

Bouquet

Silk flowers blown by the wind from a small desert cemetery, Southern Arizona

After one fierce gust,
a bouquet of silk flowers
rests against the fence.
