    Lo-kus

    I.e., not quite hai-kus!

    If I wish for you
    but do not know your name
    will you appear?
    *
    If I compose myself
    to wait for you forever,
    will you come
    five minutes before forever?
    *

    dawn gives a sense
    of things half remembered
    of newer things to come
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Beautiful, dude - and all the more welcome in that it appears to herald your return to these hallowed halls!

    If the poet cannot
    Become a child again, the verse
    Loses something in the translation...

    the locus

    the locus of our dreams
    a continuum of existence
    exalts our being

    Enjoyed the reflection!

    No rules!

    The fresh morning dew
    Graces the flowers with transparent tears
    wetting the bending grass.

    on a red tiled roof,
    hoping for food and sunshine,
    Pigeons stand sentinel.

    I tried to identify our local scavenger and the best I came up with is Brewer's Blackbird... https://www.google.com/search?client...&bih=658&dpr=1

    anywho:

    blackbirds

    little generals strut
    looking for a crumb or two
    at every parking lot

    Cute little generals, specially that Euphagus with a round figure!

    Unusual Sunday

    An army of policemen
    at my door. Did World War III start?
    No, but the LGBT+ Parade!

    They calculate about four million people in the parade of yesterday.

    The next morning

    the city yawns lazily
    and stretches itself to
    the ebb and tide of cars

    A conscientious dog!

    Saturday midday laziness

    Gym on the place
    People in the sun fumbling
    at their cell phone.
