                 if the road is willing

                 and the way 

                 not to hard

                 we may meet again

                 at the end

                 of the beginning

           Poetry of man,

           Poetry of earth,

           Poetry of time,

           Share I with.

           Poetry of man,

           Poetry of life

           And poetry of the world

           Am I where?

AGAIN

Into the fog,

five gulls

disappear,

then, reappear,

like memories of you.        martha christina    bristol, rhode island

                                                           

                                                   

               Me?  Did I forget?   

                         

                 I don't know any more what                  

                 I was looking for

                 But I know I did not find

                 a thing

                 I was not found

                 but I found myself

                 ah!  What did I say?

                 I don't know, I got lost

                 but it doesn't matter, soon

                 the wheel of life

                 will bring it back again.

reach the sky

"and the poetry, prose, haiga, international poetry festivals and workshops, everything one's haiku heart desires, and, in English and Japanese!" states Tama

"how about a poem from Stockholm?" asks Frosty. . .
Here's one, of several, from Robert Scott!

                           a letter from home

Frosty, "what about a French Canadian poet?"  Yes, this anthology
has them, including no other than André Duhaime, awarded the Canada-Japan Literary Award:
                   
                rain and hunger
                if Bashō brought me a banana
                I wouldn't say no

Frosty, about to say: "how about"/umm, Frosty, how about we soon taste the treats Yasuomi sent us?
