The shade of the tree
Kills the acorn at its base —
What's an injustice?

Haiku 18

But which way is which?
A cardinal direction
Is an empty dream

When the sun rises
It calls not for attention
But it sure does shine!

Haiku 16

The cell phone rings once
But the ringing in my head…
...The sound of your voice

The steam yields as so
I slurp and gurgle my tea
Oh, jasmine blossom!

Haiku 14

Why do you see death?
Winter is but the absence;
The mother of life

Haiku 13

The great orator
With open ears I listen
For the wind speaks not
