eyes glued to the rising sun,
a crow dive-bombs me.

it’s probably nothing.
yet, primal fear shot

Rose Garden [Haiku]

 last time, decapitated;
  now, in full bloom 

Kerplunk! [Haiku]

a creature unknown
 splashes in the lotus pond —
  kerplunk! kerplunk!

Peahen [Kyōka]

to avoid scaring insects.
people plod around,
taking the bird's picture.
the peahen thinks, "Really!"

beached pufferfish.
better we meet 
on my turf

Moon Gazing [Haiku]

 priests and prostitutes
  look to the same orb
