Haiku from Japan

6/5/2014

 
Raven at midnight
Squawks at winter’s last full moon
A few dim stars too


Tea in a pale room
Faint birdsong and traffic din
Good morning Tokyo


Shinobazu dawn
Blue heron in Lotus Pond
Water as mirror


Wind from the gray sea
Dancing dust and swaying pines
Tsurugaoka Shrine


Kamakura Buddha
Calm visage against wild skies
A bowl of grapefruit


Swaying red lantern
Pagoda in golden light
Senso-ji at night


I walk with Bashō
I hear the clouds of flowers
See the bells of time



Eric Walter (c) 2014
