6 X Haikus

Greeted in Hainan
By a little bird on a…
Flowering tree

Ripples on a pond
Cannot erase the moon…it
Just keeps coming back

Wispering willow
And shreaks of an unknown bird…
Across still waters

Life’s work complete this
Butterfly makes peace with the…
The maker of all things

Tin bell tinkle-ing
The pied-piper of rubbish…
Loads his tricycle

A black butterfly
Arrives on San-Ya’s shores…
From where did it come
