I’ve been reading several books of haiku by some of the Japanese masters of the poetic form. Bashō, Buson, Issa to name a few. Some of the poetry is simply beautiful. Very simple, yet very powerful.

The rain just keeps falling here in Misawa.
And with the snow shall bring forth… icicles!
The snow came late this year…but it made a superb entrance!
Love staring out at the big blue Pacific any time of the year!
Gray skies mean snow in northern Japan!
I took a ride on the Aomori Tsugaru Railway’s “Stove Train”.
Winter in Japan!
