“First autumn morning!”
just saying it…
lonelyborn again
morning-glories make
autumn bloom
it’s my life’s autumn
but the moon
looks perfect
from The Haiku of Kobayashi Issa, translated by David G. Lanoue

Yusuf Islam, f/k/a Cat Stevens, a terrorist threat? haikuEsq is skeptical. It’s hard to disagree withhis statement about the terrorists in Beslan, Russia:
“Crimes against innocent bystanders taken hostage in any circumstance have no foundation whatsoever in the life of Islam and the model example of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.”
The lyrics and tune from Moon Shadow are rolling around pleasingly in my mind this morning, as are the hopeful words from Peace Train:.I’ve been crying lately
Thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating?
Why can’t we live in bliss?For out on the edge of darkness
There rides the peace train
Peace train take this country
Come take me home again
