Spring Cleaning


The urge was always there
every time I stand by the window
my yard was yelling at me
it is time for spring cleaning

I spread out the bamboo fence
I found a few bamboo sticks
I stucked them into the dragon vase
Eureka!
A new feature!
Let there be more creations.

Simplicity


Life should be simple
less clutter
more peace
more room for joy

Ikebana


It is time to bring out the container and cut some flowers
an art which Samurai warriors used
just before all the killings
a contrast
as usual
seen everyday in life
stay away from black or white
life has more gray than we thought

Heart


The heart of a rose
is soft and gentle.
...
If I were a searching bee
I would need
to bypass
the thorn of self protection
...
fly through those layers
of make up
...
kiss
and be kissed
at the right time
