Sakura


I have been far too busy lately, working and travelling and missing my girls. I haven't had the right frame of mind to write haiku but when I was in Japan for cherry blossom season (sakura) a few weeks ago ......


Narita airport ~ 

plastic flowers 

announce sakura 




far from home 

I find a shell 

by the Tokko river 



 



without her 

Spring comes

             anyway





even the poor family

has a cherry tree

to host







after six beers

the talk turns back

to sakura


I REALLY wanted to join this cherry blossom viewing party!

Oh yes. I was only there for 24 hours but I made the most of it. Hopefully I will go back in about 6 weeks for a bit longer.
Off to Shanghai tomorrow....

Thanks. I like the old man photo with haiku #3. It's hard to take photos of people without them noticing, but nearly always worth it.

My daughter loves Nick Cave - she likes to dance ballet, but when Saint Nick comes on she goes crazy! I recently saw an exhibition of his art, photos, movies and manuscripts. It was amazing to see into his mind. And up the road I watched PJ Harvey in concert (brilliant) who is his ex girlfriend.

Come sail your ships
around me
and burn
your bridges down
