Haiku Fragments

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 …
trying to escape
the fisher’s net

before the sun sets …
billows of clouds linger
in the humid sky

before the sun sets …
long-tailed bird pounces on fly
for its supper

a brief drizzle
greets afternoon bystanders
with its musings

tireless children
still playing in the street
at dusk

summer break …
a boy sitting all alone
at the school gate
