down side streets -
seagulls turning the sky
in and out

Japanese street band!

boom bass-
in out of workmen’s hammers
lesser celedines

These guys were just jamming outside a Japanese shopping centre one night; they didn't play for money, just for the craic.

Deborah Russell, American haiku poet joins me, but refrains from any air guitar!

frogs, the sign of Spring!

saigyo's willow -
the sound of purple
within a frog

her black hair
catching sunlight
on his shoulder
