Week of

Four Season Tiger Haiku

    I.

            Spring

Shifty fire

Amber with coal

I detect something in the jungle

 

            Summer

Tigers get good bath

Fresh look of their coats

Competes with clean bamboo leaves

 

            Autumn

Maple leaves might pounce

Tigers might become maple leaves

The dichotomy is visual art

 

            Winter

Highland bamboo

Conference of geese

Tiger might smile at the south

 

Unpublished Poems, 1983.
