HAIKU

Great Wall
winds up the mountains
to the moon |
|

|
| |
spring rain
from my window
rustling grass and mozart |
| |
|
raging bloom
i remember naming my daughter
sakura* |
|

|
| |
sketch artist
half the city within
his fingers |
|
|
solid faith
devotees pray
to the headless buddha |
|

|
| *Japanese for "cherry blossom." |
