Five Haiku
laundry day
raindrops drying
along the spider’s line
the cat under the bush
spying on a sparrow
a none-of-your-business glance
at a loss for words
a distant honk
ends my sentence
*****************
grey clouds
the ruins of a castle
built in the air
silent fountain
the church gargoyles
give voice to the rain
