<strong>Haiku</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong><br />

the stone Buddha’s smile<br />

behind the pink thistle<br />

just before dark<br />

the moon and the sun<br />

share the sky<br />

LETTING GO<br />

by<br />

Murasaki Sagano, Japan<br />

Cathy Drinkwater Better, Maryland<br />

napping mother<br />

her face toward<br />

tulips<br />

how s<strong>of</strong>t the pillow<br />

<strong>of</strong> fallen cherry petals<br />

freesia’s scent<br />

reaches to her bed<br />

light breeze<br />

first rain drops<br />

into the cup <strong>of</strong> a leaf<br />

her unquenchable longing<br />

garden <strong>of</strong> anemones<br />

inwrought with memories<br />

letting go<br />

sakura blossoms<br />

on the wind<br />
