A Room of My Own: Old Blues Singer Haiku

old blues singer
on a Bourbon Street corner
tourists come and go


FYI: The heart of the French Quarter, Bourbon Street is the most well-known street in New Orleans. And it might be interesting to do a thematic comparison reading of my blues haiku below:

Harlem blues
a saxophone note
lengthens the night

German Translation by Chrysanthemum Editorial Team

Harlem Blues
ein Saxophonton
verlängert die Nacht



Added:

I end
in my shadow
No Exit


Added:

war news on mute
dandelions just tall enough 
for me to cut down


Added:

cutting a melon ...
a trickle of red juice
along the blade
