haiku: series 9

1.
lush mangrove swamps
roots hanging just above mud
a manatee dives

2.
a green large mouth bass
the warm water flowing slow
a mosquito bite

3.
large swarms of insects
the scent of sugar water
one ice cube melting.

4.
whiskers near old ears
grey hairs shutter in the breeze
no shaving soap

5.
smudged india ink
wet parchment drys in the sun
another lost thought

6.
a turtle swims by
the cool morning sun dancing
salty soup for lunch

7.
a fly buzzes by
the screen shakes in the warm breeze
Confucious is dead.

8.
dirty leather shoes
a perfect clean bamboo mat
Confucious is dead.

9.
smudged india ink
wet parchment drys in the sun
Confucious is dead.

10.
Confucious is dead
written in smudged black ink
a manatee dives.
