Last night, I was brave enough to do a mic reading of my haiku poems for the first time. The occasion was in conjunction with the "Urban Haiku Reading" sponsored by the Southern California Haiku Study Group and its parent entity, Haiku Society of America. held in Pasadena, CA. Today, there will be a whole afternoon of activity at the Pacific Asia Museum, 46 N. Los Robles, Pasadena, CA tel (626) 449-2742. If you are in the Los Angeles area, check it out. I read my haiku poems below.
morning chill
she grabs me back to bed
a little longer
store sign
we mend broken hearts
Valentine's Day
LA storm
the Asian magnolia
remains in bloom
still in bloom
California flowers dance
to winter song

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

graffitti wall
the rain uncovers
a poem
sleepless night
I touch gently
her empty space
waiting room
the plastic flowers
always in bloom
handicapped parking
he pretends to walk
with a limp
hot autumn day
a leaf curls
into itself
