KUAN YIN

Photo/collage by S. Auberle

While looking for another book
I came across more spring haiku.
Since the other haiku were by
men, we must have a woman's
thoughts on spring. And they
are simply too beautiful
not to share...

evening temple bell
stopped in the sky
by cherry blossoms

butterfly---
what's it dreaming
fanning its wings?

to tangle or untangle
the willow--
its up to the wind

woman's desire
deeply rooted--
the wild violets

These are all from a book called
"Chiyo-ni--Woman Haiku Master"
