November first visit of a snowman  global warming

Monoku

the singer’s mini-skirt the children stare  pleasure 

at twilight
outside the gate
drowses the autumn

October

around dusk mist
offers me its bowl
with  veggie soup


autumn rain,
then I catch
rain from petals


hot sandwiches
autumn rain
with snow


the grimace
is dissolved with rains
the first snow


late fall
woods begin to hear
winter's call
