“august haiku japan”

 

postcards no more just chat app

narita

send/receive yes have landed

 

earthquake early warning all

tsunami

network early morning call

 

tokyo together beats to

shinjuku

greets meets seats eats bleats repeats

 

wabi-sabi means lonely

wasabi

means sharing something spicy

 

slow boats in bucket seats view

shinkansen

streams hills slo-mo hokusai

 

O un-beleaf-a-bubble

suzuki

x-planes ink-ready-bubble

 

it’s pretty rainy upon

tsuruga

pretty and isn’t stopping

 

it is mist wild streams castles

nagoya

gold rooms walks and mist again

 

green mountain stream flute music

odori

up firm feet down drumming ground

 

flowing air and tangled cloud

nagashi

somen flow down bamboo chutes

 

waterfalls of butterflies

kyoto

computers do not compare

 

monkey tourists frolic at

kosan-ji

locals rabbit to frog guides

 

amazing amazingness

todai-ji

big buddha is still as stone

 

teatime in selected realms

osaka

expo pavilions

 

vast unseen but knowable

fujisan

under days weeks months of cloud

 

every fashion crosses

shibuya

stop look admire no time

 

cloud-surpassing towers where

nippori

radiates all directions
