Three haiku by Ron Riddell after the storm rain puddles contain the dance of fantail
Pasada la tormenta
en los charcos de agua
danzan los pájaros. ***flames in the canefield leap from the earth to grape-blue sky
Fuego en el cañaveral, trepan las llamas al cielo azul-uva.
***
a poet at his cupboard stealing from emptiness hopes no one is watching
un poeta que roba en su propio ropero pasa desapercibido.
