Spring coming

pear blossoms sway
with the winter wind
glimpse of spring

Ashes

Ashes
we are, so to
ashes we shall return;
the irrefutable law of
nature.

From my book:
Rustle of bamboo leaves

Japanese Garden Ginku Walk



Today, Sunday, February 1, 2009, I attended the Southern California Haiku Study Group (SCHSG) for a Ginku walk and haiku workshop at the Japanese Garden in California State University, Long Beach. Since I was late, Chizuru (above) graciously guided me where the meeting was.

Her smile is so captivating that I took her picture and wrote haiku poems for her. Maybe next time, I can request her to remove her sunglasses before I take her picture, that is, if there’s another chance.

end of winter
the glimpse of spring
in her smile
