Tanka
Incessant SKY
bulletins
news of bloody battles
surging in Baghdad
fields growing
fat on corpses
Haiku
the rain—
falling heavier
than my tears
Early Spring
Her old fingers
Sort flower seeds
Nightclub
Removing
His wedding ring
Outside Bar
Shrieks of laughter
Fill the street
Warming Sun
Snow glitters
Then vanishes
Morning Bread
The last loaf sold
For a smile
fluffy clouds drift away
another shower falls
—Light rays, a
rainbow
Rainbow appears
Seven flavours
Of mist
Autumnal sadness—
a waterdrop
down the window
summer sultriness—
In the veranda
Not a puff of air
on the horizon
constantly changing hues—
colours of hope
