SPRING HAIKU 99

pine trees
throw the wind
back on itself


in the end
all good men
are more gentle


stone bridge
old man feeds unsold bread
to swans


new photographs
quiet smile
coffee gets cold


side by side
beneath wisteria blossom
empty saki cups


finger pads
flabby and crinkled
days washing done


springs snow
covers snow drops
overnight


silently
each leaf unrolls
greeness


enormous moon
brilliant
stars retreat


natural perfume
silent moon
crickets sing
