New Year Haiku, 2021
( apologies…I can’t post this haiku with the right spacing no matter how many times I tried…)
Kadomatsu greets
America, ah, blessings
from eastern wind, yes.///
three immovable
bamboo, roped and held for strength
yet, fragile in wind. ///
green pine from knotted,
snarled fingers of a bonsai,
a thousand year life///
‘neath symbolic greens
the Emperor’s golden sunburst,
a chrysanthemum///
such blessings, New Year,
from simple pine and bamboo.
a happy new year.

My make-shift kadomatsu from my limited Sacramento yard.
