Haiku

the scent
not the flower
is driving me crazy


winter solitude--
only a sparrow
to share my meal


first dew touch —
shyly, the lily unfolds
her petals


misty windows-
lingering on the lips
the taste of carnation


deepening dusk
tearfully, he counts
the tents


crowded tents-
how can the cactus
bloom?


noisy marketÉ
lulled by mom's sound of begging
he drifts to sleep


the eagle's wing
understands well
the language of wind


that full moon
a coin falls into
the beggar's palm


strutting
behind his shadow
a rooster


a rainy night
even without sandals
the clouds jog


fluttering
in the spider's web
~ may fly ~


waiting for the moon
to defeat that cloud-
the lonely tree


sparrows go
behind the hill singing
of lost identitiy


Valentine morning
time to release
the lovebirds


Valentine day
unless rose petals lie
he loves me


Valentine eve
counting the stars and
heart palpitations
