A Haiku

reading The Tin Drum --
I have a powwow solo
in the attic


World Kigo Database (Günter Grass)

Note: The Tin Drum, first book of Danzig Trilogy, is one of the most highly acclaimed novels by Gunter Grass. It’s about a boy named Oskar who refuses to grow older, and who constantly lashes out at anything he dislikes with screams and poundings on his tin drum.
