> time: a perspective

busy little kids

and we struggle to keep up;

then they turn eighteen

> writers block

the words do not flow

i am in an arid place

no inspiration!

i can’t seem to write about anything but my lack of being able to write a haiku…go figure!

> kotatsu

against frigid cold

you cover this frail body

my warm kotatsu

written by our good friend, who is living in japan. he is not only a gifted poet, but an excellent photographer as well. you can see his photos at www.flickr.com/photos/safelyframed/
his original post where this haiku appears is at warm, like a kotatsu
what’s a kotatsu you ask? read more here www.sushicam.com

> a winter lament

here is a free form haiku from my sister in law. i’m glad someone feels inspired to write!!!

mist hangs in the dreary sky

clouds rise up 

below the snow turns to tears
