HAIKU
Spring drizzle
in the tub by the well
sun-split clouds
twilight --
far away cloud slink into
nothingness
Zen pond
a koi nibbles
raindrops
twilight…
the growing quiet
of birds
SENRYU
the growing quiet
of birds
SENRYU
winter fog
a packed train disappears
into an empty tunnel
soundtracking
my steps
the creaky stairway
child -time field
i walk
my memories
a packed train disappears
into an empty tunnel
soundtracking
my steps
the creaky stairway
child -time field
i walk
my memories
TANKA
jasmine flower
trampled on earth
wither...
the way the pious walk
on temple pathway
on the day
girlfriend
moves in
i change the bikini-calendar
to one of flowers
plates clatter
in the cupboard
as a train passes
waking up the station master
on time
