The sketch

The sketch
runs into the sky
softly,
and former memories
awake

A blissful moment
spent with a congenial friend
passes
in a flash
harmoniously

The night view of cherry blossoms

In the moonlight
the avenues of cherry trees
are in full
transparent blossoms
silently

Soon
the cherry petals
will flutter
with spring breeze
one after another

The big Tsunamis

With kicking and splashing
white spindrifts
the big tsunamis
flooded the seacoast towns
from the sea

The violence of nature
wielded cruelly,
the big tsunamis
carried away
many daily lives

Safeties of many people
are unnoticed,
the sea coast towns
that I visited before
lay in ruins

People continue
to contend with the risks
from disaster
of big earthquake
cooperatively

The vernal sighs

The vernal sighs
make various sounds
and break through
the quiet of the evening
day by day

A bird
came to the branch
and gave a cry,
it rang out
with the flap of wings

Freedom of expression

Freedom of expression
affects
the natural eagerness
for life
and the way we think

Respect

Respect
through short poems
opens up a new vista
from the past
to the future

Nandina

Sunlight brightened
Nandina.
I stood
looking over it
at quiet time

When the flowers are in bloom
leaves of Nandina
vary from red to green,
it's a fresh sign,
early summer has come

Under the fine winter sky
vivid red Nandina
sank into my heart
beside it was
snow-white frost
