Haikus IV (From Japan)
Cliffs disappearing
Before my very eyes...
The sea mist rises
Got greeted by a
Russian on a bicycle...
Here in "Miyako"
In the country-side
Rows and rows of paddy fields
Not a single cow
Snowing pink blossom
Ravens grubbing for worms this...
Wet may morning
You little flower
I can see you peeping with...
Make-up mirror poised
The first primroses
Of the season bid farewell...
In "Kisakata"
