Haiku 2017/292-297

2017/297 (24 October 2017)
walking past the zoo:
was that an engine starting
or a lion's roar

*******

2017/296 (23 October 2017)
across the hallway
another room of paintings
each one a lifetime

*******

2017/295 (22 October 2017)
the sun is long gone
the daily noises subside:
cicada chorus

*******

2017/294 (21 October 2017)
caught in their cages
restless tigers pace inside
while we pace outside

*******

2017/293 (20 October 2017)
why does summer stay
after we want it to leave?
where is summer's fall?

*******

2017/292 (19 October 2017)
in faraway skies
there are just as many stars
they burn as coldly
