THE HOO OF HAIKU

The slow-walking cat

Crossing the village road stops:

The dead black brother



Friday, 25 April 2008



Otherworldly voice…

She says she has throat cancer –

The homeless woman

Saint George the Green One…

Behind the church of deep love

A rainbow rising


Tuesday, 15 April 2008


It happens in spring …

Once more some ants have drowned in

A jar of honey


Sunday, 13 April 2008



A Sunday morning…

My father, too, has heard it:

The first cuckoo’s call



Friday, 11 April 2008



Violet, how come,

In a circle of daisies

By a wire fence



Sunday, 6 April 2008



On a spring visit

The greenfinch sings more roundly:

Still, a roundelay





Little old woman

Creeping along the zebra

With a tall blind man

Spring as it once was:

Two old women in headscarves

Sit at a bus stop



Friday, 4 April 2008



Our town in April…

A geisha-looking woman

Waits at the crossroads
