Waves upon the shore, we break the darkness
Confusing ourselves
Amongst the mingling dwellers of the eve
Absorbed in our discourse
We slip into a sushi bar
Out in the courtyard
A young couple dances
They are synchronized, in collusion
With each step we inhale warm envy
Intoxicated with aspirations
On the streets, we spill our souls
The wet night rings out
With every drop shimmering
Like the surface of your eyes
Trickling into my heart

A man of ancient skills and tradition,
Lived in a land of structured discipline,
A balanced life with moral conviction,
Daily vigilance maintains his routine,
Rain wet Cherry Blossom tree now glisten.
Rakes of stones crafts a serene rock garden,
Sounds of snips of a Bonsai Tree are done,
Grunts and shorten words as a sword swooshes,
A Suzume bird now tweets when hearten
Saimin ate and Haiku read, finishes.

~A Book of Haiku~
tangerine morning
singing birds in chorus line
quiet gentle mist
yellow bus flash red
boys and girls at playground games
empty nests at home
plate lunch four dollars
loco moco two scoops rice
saimin noodle smile
open air market
flower lei’s and hula dolls
tropical shave ice
local meeting place
talking story on park bench
happy memories
brown sun kissed faces
song and dance sweet melodies
lovely hula hands
purple shadows fall
lets go on a moonlight swim
lovers silhouettes
