retirement…

a jamboree of crows

every morning

*

frost on the grass

the slippery slope

of old friendships

*

fleeting youth

the shimmer of the ballgown

in the closet

*

raking leaves

neighbour’s footsteps

dragging his age

*

spring storm

a trickle of rain

the trickle of time

(Under the Basho) Modern Haiku 2017)
