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
