chunks of chopped trees
charred by chomping hangry flames
roast the perfect dog

秋木の枝が
伸びてきてぶつかる
私の帽子に

tree limb
reaches out bangs
my hat

ends of thorny stems
smells of colored ruffled bells
wrapped in a bouquet

Laurels hide the shame
Rome's greatest General fears
a stiff morning breeze.

we all need each other
some find love in the magical forest
some just stand alone ...

It's that time of the week when I write a poem about a headache.

unexpected guests...
i don't beat around the bush
with my headache

everyone,
take a good look -- seagulls
are black birds

--Shinko Tokizane

みんなよくごらんカモメは黒い鳥　時実新子
