4 Haiku and 1 Tonka 
 
(1) 
I go to bed only 
when the wall-clock requests me 
with his folded hands 
 
(2) 
soaked in heavy rain 
lark returns to earth to claim 
her gift-package 
(3) 
can words convey love? 
why then cuckoo’s call for his mate 
remain unanswered 
(4) 
with the rain comes out 
ants, centipedes in garden 
sparrow’s feast-time 
(5) 
moved by defendant’s 
appeal, jury recommends 
judge grants a bail; 
no one knows how much money 
changed hands in the process
