Haikū - 7

A further selection of my Haikū from mid-February for your delight and delectation...





Page

In early morning
talking with a friend unheard
just words on a page


Doggerel

I carefully plan
each chosen word to read, not
random doggerel


Tonic

Her touch, gentle smile
wakens on a dark morning
beautiful tonic


Friend

A splash of colour
among the drifting icons
a friend wanders past


Loneliness

Loneliness takes hold
in my mind, leaving nothing
crying in my sleep


Elsewhere

Elsewhere and elsewhen
we played our games, here and now
we hold our love close





I had intended to post five Haikū but felt that I couldn't just leave it on a sad note with 'Loneliness' so the next in the sequence was added.
