haikus

Look at that warbler--

he's wiping his muddy feet

all over the plum blossom.

--------------

This mushroom is

deadly. and, of course,

it's also very pretty.


------
A quick rattle of hail

as day breaks,

on the camellia leaves.

-----
Extricating itself from thorns,

a bush warbler,

soars high.


-------

So distant from the moon --

the colour and scent

of wisteria blossom.

While I've found these in the "Classic Haiku" book by Tom Lowenstein, in random order,
I've copied them here above in a specific order.
