Today’s observation haiku

Stout Roma woman
seated on a concrete block
outside the market

She had removed one 
sock and was massaging the
toes of her bare foot

Note
The truth and nothing but.
Was this worth noting and being poeticized/documented?
Not entirely sure. But what’s done is done.

A random hot summer observation haiku

Lolling in her seat,
right hand hung out the window
like a wilted leaf.

Note
Everything wilts in this seemingly endless summer heat.

The stopped on Via Laurentina haiku

All five fingers of
right hand on her face, middle
pushing up nose tip

Note
The truth and nothing but. Observed the driver of a car in the right lane while stuck in traffic this morning.

The sowing the seeds of doubt haiku

A parked metal box, 
human talk issuing from 
it. Oh so what if.

– Leonard Blumfeld (© 2019)

Note
All based on experience from a few minutes ago. The last 4 words are doing the sowing.

The clack clack haiku

Man in his fifties,
greying, in shorts, super tanned,
chews gum open-mouthed.

– Leonard Blumfeld (© 2019)

Note
Pretty much compressed razor edge of time reporting. The tanned shorts variety of Leisure Suit Larry.
