A Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry made of short, unrhymed lines that evoke natural imagery.

an ancient pond
a frog jumps in
the splash of water

an ancient pond

the first cold shower
even the monkey seems to want
a little coat of straw

the first cold shower

on a leafless branch
a crow comes to rest
autumn nightfall

by my new banana plant
the first sign of something I loathe
a miscanthus bud!

I write, erase, rewrite,
erase again, and then
a poppy blooms.

New Year's Day—
everything is in blossom!
I feel about average

everything I touch
with tenderness, alas,
pricks like a bramble

get ready to see
my piss waterfall!
croaking frog

locked in a staring contest
me …
and a frog

flutteringly
floating in the breeze
a single butterfly

consider me
as one who loved poetry
and persimmons

I want to sleep
swat the flies
softly, please
