Haku

        

                                                  meadow grasses

                                        bent by the wind 

                                        the purple plumes

                                                        

                                    breathing in

                                    the sharpness of autumn

                                    no words spoken

Presence

The Country and Abroad

       

Haiku

                                  morning mist
                                  the tick...tick
                                  of leaves falling

                                  morning sharpness
                                  rain soaked leaves
                                  sticking where they fall

                                  turning the corner
                                  crimson maple trees
                                  dripping rain
