6x Haikus
Man of poverty
Ryokan...was truly blessed...
By the unseen Hand
Tear my heart out Here...
In this tranquil Kauri Grove
I truly would not mind
Way-weary feet seek
A rest...as the long shadow...
Meets its final end
Beautifully poised
In the sand...the Stingray sleeps...
Its very last sleep
The singing blossom
Cannot be heard by the birds...
That flower all day
At the beach's end
The Pohutukawa shrine...
To enduring peace
