one poem every day
spring dewdrops
a butterfly
tattooed on her buttock
summer heat
autumn dawn
before the mirror I count
gray hairs
snow on snow
thoughts of her emerge
one at a time

Note: In celebration of the upcoming 7th anniversary of being a published writer of Japanese short form poetry, I am pleased to announce a new publishing project, Selected Haiku Sequence by Chen-ou Liu.
