My Invitation to a Haiku Walk (ginkoo)
. GINKO
Willie Bongcaron Philippines
Ginko by Julie Cain
monkey puzzle--
tell me old pine, "How
shall I trim our sky?"
above the temple
winter pines spread their needles--
a green beginning
tiny stream
tiny rocks, tiny ripples--
big winter light
hole in the roof--
the ancient cedar ignores
the carpenter
old kanji-carved stone--
the moss around the edges
finding it's own way
truncated tree--
each lump of new limbs
shrieking to the sky
before you come
to the sliding temple screens--
heavenly bamboo berries
how green the leaf
how very red the berries--
temple courtyard sun
funny little boxes
under the temple roof--
how light catches things

Thank you for beautiful haiku and photos, Gabi San.
Some find a sign of hope;
others don't.
I wish I could!
For the New Year.

Sehr schöne Fotos, liebe Gabi; sie bringen auch bei mir und meiner Frau Erinnerungen an ein ganz anderes Erleben dieser Zeit in Japan zum Klingen.

Lovely Gabi!!!
I can get the scent of incense sticks and it's all merging with mine own bought from the forest of Karnataka.
Lovely heavenly smells!!
