Some of my haiku have been published on the Mainichi Shinbun (毎日新聞). The haiku section is edited by Mr. Dhugal J. Lindsay, who started doing this after Mr. Isamu Hashimoto passed away in 2017 [1]. I am very grateful that I could share these haiku in 2023. If you also like to submit haiku to the Mainichi Sjinbun, please do so here [2].

the scarecrow
is back in the shed
not asking for tea
February 16, 2023
out of the forest
the deer and I
both surprised
March 7, 2023
sudden snow
the black sheep
already looks white
April 1, 2023
hoarfrost
stiffening the barberry bush
and auntie's knees
April 8, 2023
at the traffic lights
some snowflakes join me
waiting
April 26, 2023
poor daisies
out in the cold
letting the cat in
May 6, 2023
drab morning
dandelions, daisies and I
sleep another turn
May 24, 2023
dark clouds
moving quickly like myself
before the rain
September 18, 2023
too windy
outside
for the wind chimes
October 11, 2023
this morning
still clings to the grass
in a few drops
October 21, 2023
late summer rain
the leaves learn
to cling to each other
November 10, 2023
gardening
thank you rain
for the break
December 11, 2023
autumn gales
the reeds bend backwards
but we bend forwards
December 29, 2023
first cranes
heading south
I order diesel
