Gold chrysanthemum –
fine flecks travel far away
beyond western horizon
haiku
bubbly baubles
bursting beatifically
blooming brazenly
between
bodacious blackness
alliteration
Light-blue flier flits
seeking out dancing partner
at the abandoned graveyard.

AT THE BATTLEFIELD
Stalwart Samurais
living on silent prayers
undaunted in face of death.
Dosed by arrow’s spray
intermeshed Samurais fight
past midnight and twilight hours.

Vivacious calligraphers.
at Asakusa Temple
painting you portrait
Wayward novices
at Asakusa Temple
seeking indoctrination.

Gathered rice farmers
the Autumnal Equinox
Fathers recite fertile songs.
Ancestral image –
beneath lushness rice paddy
and under greying twilight.
