Poor scorpions
Conflicts
The poor verse sulks
not heading his neighbor's grief
or rhymed despair.

re: scorpions - a true story: about 20 years ago my then only grandson and I took a short walk up the road and stopped at a small hillside of shale and absent-mindedly took of a few hand-sized sheet-chunks of loosened shale off the side to reveal the scorpions; 2-black scorpions just minding their own business... we left them alone... hope they found a new hide-out.
Love the literary poem
at the beach, again
foggy seaside day
a gentle stream to traverse
beachcombing blanched sands

re: Yea, scorpions like to hide in dark places. But you didn´t know they were there and they probably regarded it as a chalenge to move their residence.
Liked your seaside poem. It has been a good time since I went to one.
Rainy morning (as in older times)
Shiny puddles hail
torrents of gushing waters,
nosediving trees.

re: seaside... sadly me too - used to be a large part of my life: beachcombing/solitude/family/tide pools
Love your poem... nosediving trees is intriguing; happens a lot here.

Enchanting vignette!
Noon
A tired morning
Smelling of lunch lazily
enticing the sun

My kind of morning
marsh færies
a crisp starry night
bats wheel tracking fireflies
while marsh færies dance

Magical!
Trivial Vignette
Morning sun hiding
in the clouds; a little dog
yawns. Nothing happens.

Lol... trivial ?

White clouds grace
the azure sky like
herds of cotton sheep.

a home on the beach
I would have honeysuckle

Learned about curlews, graceful birds
Urban nights
Laughter, sirens, shouts,
Shrill sounds pervade the streets
Dimming distant stars!

Enjoyed the city reflection and the "skyglow" effect... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyglow
a home by the sea
sand dollars would be
my currency - if I had
a home by the sea

Thanks for the "skyglow" article. Had never thought about it, but one can´t conceive a modern city without it
Charming Haikus. Liked specially the second, though more somber one.
Bookish noses
They don´t get tanned.
Waves are unknown to these
Submerger in words.
Black Holes
Stir heart of darkness,
announce thy empty core.
Brilliant nothingness

Thanx ! "Bookish noses": Lol ! Too true ! "Black Holes": an interesting study in such few words.
