"True Friendship"

Even as petals start to fall
The fragrance of true friendship
Lingers
And will last forever more!

"Fragrance Clings" (Chinese Proverb)

This is not my picture
and
it is not my Proverb
but
it is me in the picture

with

my dear friend

Kah Yiin
who
gave me the flowers

and showed me unstinting

care and kindness

during her recent

visit.
Kah Yiin and Siew Chin
I love you guys 

"Norfolk Island Pine" (haiku)

Patiently she stands
Norfolk Island Pine so far
From her southern home

Heralds our summer season
Water drips from leaves

"Storm" (haiku)

I called her Lady
She woke a Storm in my heart
Before she went home

Copyright © Res Burman 12 May 2018
I had a lost dog called Storm come and spend some time with me yesterday, until we could locate her owner. She was lovely, beautifully behaved, and as gentle as a lamb.
I shall miss her

Stone Lantern (haiku)

Stone lantern waiting
For someone to light the lamp
To guide pilgrims home

Pilgrim Soul (Tanka)

The evening sun's warm
Upon my face after toil
As I take my ease

Pilgrim Soul.... not in bamboo
But a granite town house step

Spring (Haiku)

Tender shoots of spring
Unfolding to the sun's warmth
Hope springs eternal

Tree Shadows (Haiku)

When the sun is high
The trees sketch their images
On the ground below
