these haiku…
falling almond blossoms
in a spring breeze

rolling thunder

rolling thunder
empty grain trucks
in the summer heat

taiko drumbeat
the underpass at
Shin-Osaka

step-by-step
shuffling the stone
in my shoe

tipping my hat
in the morning heat
a slow trickle

The above haiku was written in response to the NaHaiWriMo prompt for December 2, 2022. The picture below was generated using Nightcafe and Dall-E Ai

in silence –
the rise and fall
of the cat’s purr

沈黙猫のゴロゴロ上下
(chinmoku neko no gorogoro jōge)

through the fog

   the disembodied call

of the crow

cracked teapot

   we sit and mend

   Our differences
