Haiku Collection March 11,2012



clash of words
telling my friend to
put the clock back

..clock is not auspicious as gift in Chinese society because clock is read as zhong in mandarin which sounds the same as death or the end

mona lisa
i try to smile
a 500 year old smile

earthquake drill
one fat lady asks what happens
if it is an 8 richter scale


tohoku tsunami anniversary
the tremour in the
one minute silence

receding tide
i walk to
the next island

earthquake drill
one fat lady asks what
if it's an 8 richter
