Haiku by Ronny Noor

 

raindrops

falling on palm fronds

my heartbeat

 

 

your swishing gown –

the rustle

of spring leaves

 

 

returning late

from her evening class –

children in bed

 

 

sudden thunder –

skateboarders

across the wooden bridge

 

 

goggled worker

drilling the road

my sore mouth

 

 

 

Ronny Noor’s haiku have appeared in several journals, including paper wasp, the Aurorean, and World Haiku Review. He is the author of a novel, Snake Dance in Berlin (2009), and numerous essays and stories. He lives in Brownsville, Texas.
