TEN HAIKU (2nd Collection)

1

A little flower
by the side of the main road
I think it knows me

2

Aroma of coffee
bacon sizzling in kitchen
it's time to wake up

3

My first Latin class
amo, amas et amat
I yawned and I yawned

4

The soldier has packed
he will fight for his country
his wife and kids weep

5

The sea is at rest
fishermen return to shore
the sunset still glows

6

The old cherry-tree
beneath which the children play
it knows each by heart

7

Who is the singer
who wrote this beautiful song
mind not, just listen

8
In the old-folks' home
' Those were the days' someone sings
I think she's in tears.

9

Spring day in Melbourne
the mall is full of shoppers
' mummy' a child calls

10

Between two pine-trees
stands an old wooden cottage
none knows who lives there
