I was looking through my many new circles of talented photographers on Google+ when I came upon a photo with a contest to write a Haiku to describe the scene. I have long enjoyed Haiku as it always seems to touch an emotional and sensitive part of my personality where I feel uninhibited. Today I will share some Haiku with my blissful friends. I take license with formatting so if you are a purist, my apologies. If you simply do not like my stuff, VFC!

The morning was cool

The man brought his beans to the market

No one pays a fair wage in Ethiopia

Fall light

diffused, captured, and falling

it changes perspective

An old man sitting

with a cup of coffee

hears more of the truth

In the bright sun

a stoic man reads alone

people do not like him

A 3 wheeled scooter

was all that stood between

happiness and survival

On a cool morning

A boy leapt from his bed

to find Santa had gone

The party was stagnant

The Italian stood alone head swirling about

and asked, what is this Chub?
