winter dawn
see the world with coffee
in a garden

so he's listening to
music out loud, so what --
we're getting old

#SenryuSunday

dawn
moon and star
the walker follows his dog

~
freezing cold
the conifer absorbs
a delicate sunrise

#busonchallenge #dailyhaiku #senryusunday

Day 14 of my Buson 100 days challenge. A liberating project - freely writing 10 'whatever' poems daily, and if I'm lucky there may be one or two eccentric ones.
