These are some of my best haiku and senryu of 1998.
Even less writing as I got a more permanent job.
The Internet had been taking up more of my time... but unlike one would think,
I still read a lot, both haiku and other poetry. Only my own productivity reached a low point.
| soft snowfall under the streetlamps orange flakes |
||
| one more frosty day but under my window ...a hint of green |
||
| five steps with closed eyes � the snow bank too bright to look at |
||
| her letter: once written, a hundred times read |
||
| cold: I seek warmth everywhere but from people |
||
| straining to hear the nightingale I am drenched by the unseen rain |
||
| full-grown leaves wet in the warm rain � spring's over |
||
| before the storm how white the seagull overhead |
