autumn evening-
stompped footsteps
down to the stony street
late encounter:
sound of dropped ear rings
on the planking floor

idle summer time
steamy cast-mosaic floor
in Turkish bath

The 14th Mainichi Haiku Contest 2010, Honorable Mention
autumn cleaning:
the spider’s web
just lints

mid-morning sun-
fog unravelling
roll by roll

house under construction:
near the mound of gravel
the mount of leaves
heavy rain:
footmarks on the pavement
concentric circles

november forest-
in each tree
a different color

The November / December 2010 Sketchbook Vol. 5, No. 6
mid of november-
nothing in the air
excepts ladybugs
afternoon napping
curved into each other-
old wooden spools

The November / December 2010 Sketchbook Vol. 5, No. 6
drop by drop
loosing identity-
full pail under the eaves
a gust of wind:
hammock full of leaves
out of the blue

left chimney
little stork bird getting pinker:
early sunrise

up in the trees
crows getting even darker:
early dusk
foggy morning:
yours eyes
mistier than the air
faster
than the sweeper’s broom:
falling leaves

The November / December 2010 Sketchbook Vol. 5, No. 6
sound of an engine
before the flash of headlights:
liquid fog

The November / December 2010 Sketchbook Vol. 5, No. 6
walking home
in the yellow leaves carpet
the pallor of evening

The November / December 2010 Sketchbook Vol. 5, No. 6
near the heater-
all at once, the full moon
spreads cold light
mist above the sea-
the picture he took
before sunrise
seeding:
a flock of sea-gulls
whitening the land
