Five Haiku Poems by Christina Chin

 



Never shop before food

 

window display 

the inviting aroma 

of deli and coffee

 

 

stomach rumbles

the temptation 

is hard to resist


 

enticing 

I step inside 

to escape the chill


 

waiting inside

the sizzle of savoury 

delights

 

 

scanning the menu 

I change my mind to continue 

my hungry journey
