from the haiku masters

• Kojo
  Night, and the moon!
  My neighbor, playing on his flute -
  out of tune!
    
  Kato, Shuson
  I kill an ant
  and realize my three children
  have been watching.
  
  
  
  • Murakami, Kijo. (1865-1938).
    
  • First autumn morning:
    the mirror I stare into
    shows my father's face
  
  
  • The moment two bubbles
    are united, they both vanish.
    A lotus blooms.

no closure
your heart in key chain,
      calls... I cant turn on the key
                for we are not free...

life is a haiku...

morning breaks
immaculately,
a flock of herons alight 
-dawn's ballerinas!


 going home
  frogs on my road home
      stared back at incoming light...
      oh, scarlet grass!


 child's play

 a spider wanders
     aimlessly,  in a matchbox...
     -waiting for his fight.

my wife dreams to be a rainmaker...

   a remote control,
             for playful rain is better
                  than water sprinkler...

nostalgia
   I stare, for what seems
            Like eternity, at your
                  cold, cold coffee cup.....

(with a little help from the teacher )
snail  
       Though I’m slow, who cares,
           I’m still much faster than still earth
…              racing in vast space.

Glass Door:
        Pressing on, blindly,
                   I recoil, like a ball...Oh..
                              A transparent wall.

well                      
Into the dark pit
          Tears fall, accelerating,
                 Ripples...then silence...
