HAIKU
 1
 barefoot
 in the dandelions - 
 warm rain

 2
 icy window glass -
 children playing
 tic-tac-toe
 
 3
 full moon
 on the top of cypress -
 sleepless night

 4
 snowfall -
 a child draws the horizon
 on a window
 
 5
 daybreak in mountain -
 from the aureole of mist
 comes out lamb flock

 6
 funeral procession
 the second this week
 autumn rain
 
 7
 noon stillness
 in kingdom of grass
 puppy sniffs poppies
  
 8
 bare feet on the run -
 over the cobblestones
 leaked a sky

 9
 severe  wind -
 tender grass shoots bend
 over father's grave

 10
 starry night -
 frost patterns grow
 from the window's edge
