the dog barks – some faint footsteps
rain the cold night lulls the baby to sleep
coffee cup brewing a haiku in the air
aims at the Jelly Bean baby’s smile
rainy morning the kettle is whistling
a visit to the old wooden shack autumn leaves
asphalt jungle the soothing effect of the breeze
golden the flowers that share the sun
grape vines the main door’s attraction
autumn the last leaf falls to its golden bed
* A monoku is a one-liner haiku.

dog walk
a flea crawls
out from the leash
puppy talk
the playful thug gets caught
in a pool of mud
school of catfish
the stirrings in the pond
jolt me
hiding behind
the pond’s lilies
mudfish
ogling eyes
a frog lays still
in the pond

turning a new leaf
history records
the promise of spring
melted watches
the cheese, experiences
the loaf of bread
(Inspired by Salvador Dali’s “The Persistence of Memory”)
waiting time
the postman misses
his route
(Inspired by Dali’s “Ventana”)
a grasshopper
harvesting and storing rice
from dawn ‘til dusk
blazing heat
a cool shady place
for the bench

vast grassy field…
a bed of yellow flowers
hides a fallen nut
crystal lake…
creeping potato vines tease
a budding lily
the fast lane…
cars roll over a pothole
in succession

October fun
guffaws and jests blend
with mugs of beer
chirping
with hidden cicadas
whistling kettle
full moon
the tail of a shadow
disappears
Halloween night
leaving the main gate
ajar
long night
pitch-black darkness hides
flying fruit bats
December quiver
the dog remains curled
in its cozy nook
snowflakes
winter doves bravely scour
the freezing ground

a school of koi…
even more color
to the pond
man-made lagoon…
my sense of belonging
awakens
monitor fish
scrubs from under
the lagoon
siesta time…
filled-up benches attract
more sleepy sitters
trees break
from Typhoon Frank’s fury…
paths of destruction
the tremblings
after the tremor subsides..
aftershocks rise
valentine romance…
my wife and I
share a tea cup

mouth waters…
a plump chicken sits
on an open fire
a long busy grind…
the rooster’s loud shrill ends
the cold night’s silence
Peking ducks quack
as eggs roll over the coop…
the same old sandwich
a mouse
struggles out of sight…
the hiss of a snake
stomach grumbles…
a sigh at the sight
of empty pockets

yellow fledglings
with their protective mother
paddle playfully
the rising heat
swiftly envelopes
the Bermuda grass
sighs of the lagoon…
I ponder silently
under a grass hut
hungry tilapia
gamely bites the bait
of the fishing rod
the bamboo foliage
to fishing father and son
serves as cool cover
I make funny face
with my hazy reflection
on the green lagoon
slimy earthworms
feast hungrily
on rotten peelings
potato vine
floats lazily on the side
of the lake
a milkfish jiggles …
