World Haiku Series 2022 (130) Haiku by Paul Callus (Malta)

Haiku by Paul Callus  

stepping stones –

harmonized fulfilment

amongst nations

– – – – – – – – – – – – 

a cool night –

she shawls herself

in moonlight

– – – – – – – – – – – – 

winter sunset –

the abating glow

of ardent love

– – – – – – – – – – – –

December holly –

she shows off

her red stud earrings

– – – – – – – – – – – – 

windfall apple –

stubbornly he rubs

his bruised ego

– – – – – – – – – – – – 

pinwheel –

a Buddhist monk

lost in meditation

– – – – – – – – – – – 

love at first sight –

sashaying into my life

a swan

– – – – – – – – – – – 

Mount Fuji

I scale the heights

of inspiration

– – – – – – – – – – – 

rebellion –

a dolphin at the marine park

defies orders

                                     – – – – – – – – – – – 

murmuration –

a swoop of swallows

joins the clouds

– – – – – – – – – – –
