one more poui blossom
falling /gc

flower show
a child tells me
her favorite color /wk
sunset -
she draws a red thread
through her embroidery /jm
Spring time –
in my secret pocket
a dry lime leaf /md
No money
in my pocket book...
but so many haiku! /vm
Pick my pocket now
Finding mostly lint from wash
A poem pops right out /qc
bowl of soba
on the first day of Spring
picking my teeth /jc
tobacco crumbs
in a wrapped clipping--
beware the raindrops /rb
--又ここに若葉光に揺れてをり
--mata koko ni / wakaba hikari ni/ yurete wori
here I come again
young leaves swinging
in sun beam /sn
power failure
an employee explains
a sit-down strike /rp
ending April
so many winter haiku
not yet written /jt
