A HAIKU JOURNEY

Bus horns, cars blast past
Small trees, tall fences quiet
A city,  New York?

                         Wet crape myrtle blooms
                         Crimped lace through the back window
                         Serene orient

                                                             Gray silk afternoons
                                                              Parisian cats slink in shadows
                                                              Impressions linger.

  The Arch testifies
  History lives in cool walls
  Roman holidays.

                           Postcards from the Nile
                            Cat goddess Bastet suggests
                             Sultry mystery.

                                                            Oven sent fragrance
                                                            Winter baked sweet with warmth
                                                            Viennese delights.

               Dappled giraffe waits
               On the coffee table plain
               African retreat.

                                      Bauhaus, forties sounds.
                                      Daylight outlines nouveau curves
                                      Filters time through slats.

                                                                        Measured by spoonfuls
                                                                        These days we dwell in Dallas
                                                                         Worlds swirl in daydreams.
