a sparrow hops
over the cobbles,
seeking seeds.

“Lost in Fog” by Qin Guan [w/ Audio]
The tower has vanished in the fog;
The boat is hidden in moon-shadow;
The perfect peach field cannot be found.
I'm shut in by the cold rain of Spring.
I hear the cuckoo's call at sunset.
Apricot blossoms sent by my friends
In letters received through the post
Cause an assault by countless memories.
A lonely river rounds the mountain,
But why should it flow toward my lost world?

Flash Flood [Haiku]
with days of rain,
the lake overflows its bank
to carve a creek.

The Spring Thickens [Haiku]
Spring has arrived!
the view from glade to glade
through woods, is no more.

out over the river are
Early Spring green.

Little River [Haiku]
in early spring,
the river is twining streams,
and tiny green isles.

After the Rain [Haiku]
streets are glistening,
and trees are dripping on the
riverside shrine's roof.

Green Growth [Haiku]
spring rains green
the fort's horizonal and
its vertical.

Greening Rains [Haiku]
the soil is soggy
from persistent spring rains,
but, in sun, greens glow.

Five Seasonal Poems of Miura Chora [w/ Audio]
NEW YEAR
New Year's Day:
the ancient voice of a
nightingale.
SPRING
idyllic nights
and quiet days:
spring rains.
SUMMER
cold water, and
a couple of rice cakes:
it's summertime.
AUTUMN
morning glories
are tousled by
Autumn winds.
WINTER
lingering wind
and snow fall
upon me.
