Proud Wind Rippling Flags

Proud wind rippling flags,
Men poised taut beneath free sky,
Sweaty armor drips.

Happy Songbirds Sing


pathwayHappy songbirds sing,
In frail sun I wait for love,
Light tilting away.

Outside Garden's Gate


Outside garden's gate,
Treasuring waiting wonders,
Blowing wind pauses.

Serenity Rocks

Silently ask of my dreams;
Shadows stuck in time.

Cherry Blossom Time

Cherry blossom time,
Deep in Yoshino Mountain,
To die among friends.

Rest Before Battle

Rest before battle,
Destiny's fate decided,
Silent clouds pass by.

Mountain Haiku Dew


Streaming water sighs,
Impudent rock impedes flow!
But what right the stream?


Holy mountain top;
Distant pebbles shout silence;
Sapling sprouts unheard.


Misty cave darkness;
Stalactites lengthen at will;
Quakes sharply sever.

Winter's Heavy Snow

Winter's heavy snow
Tests the heart of bended branch,
Forever apart.
