saw some haiku online n i liked them very much.
sazanami ya samonaki sakura saki ni keri
like ripples on water - cherry blossoms flutter
ten kara demo futtaru y? ni sakura kana
like they fell
from heaven...
cherry blossoms
ki ni itta sakura no kage mo nakari keri
the cherry blossoms
that stirred me,
shade me no more

rumpled tablecloth
- a momentary stop
in conversation
empty field -
a little brown bird
perches on the scarecrow
leafless
the inter-twined branches
hold the red kite closely
worn cushion covers -
your perfume
lingering
sifting the drawer
for old love letters
- cobwebs
in the half-light
gray storm clouds
and a lone sparrow
drizzle -
the leaves caught in the window
half wet
distant roll of thunder -
the empty cab light
fading into darkness
autumn sunset -
a single blossom
in my row of cacti
raindrops against my window
remembering
your hand in mine
your smile fading...
the colour of
autumn leaves
in her little hands
a dandelion sways
- a few seeds remaining
clambering furniture
his every move
a replica of hers
