1.
Some commonplace hook,
Something moves away from norm –
A twist. Empty space.
2.
Racing against sleep
The poet plumbs her pathos –
Mimosa leaves fold.
3.
Solitary crow
Perches on the shoulder blades
Of lonely scarecrows.
4.
Simple gratitude:
A bitter kiss on my lips –
The coffee steams.
5.
Gifted, regifted
The book of haiku blooms –
Every page a dawn.
