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?
