Hush! there
the silence stirs, flutters--
is so again.
And in the early
mornings air we hear-- again
the sparrow's song.

Two haiku, presented flush together; so portraying the sounds of the morning, when I can get my friends to hush.

Matsuo Bashō

Wrapping the rice cakes,
with one hand
she fingers back her hair.

Matsuo Bashō

The pine tree of Shiogoshi
Trickles all night long
Shiny drops of moonlight.

See, below the hill
trees sway in even's breath
red poppies underfoot.

A beautiful scene, seen long ago, when flowers still grew wild on my fathers land.

Sun streaming
the green smell fills the air--
cold burns my nose.

A laughing moment today; set here in beauty.

Through leaflet halls, soft
the woodland path lies unclad--
Life waits, looking on.

A sketch, outlining my belief that nature should be left in large, unspoiled; Nature, souls sweet solace-through you, I find peace.

Chrysanthemum
bloom in straight lines, so
stone square.

An old memory, flowers blooming around the edges of my grandfathers tennis court.
