nature’s open arms
sympathy for every being
let the tears stream down
~
green and yellow fields
radiant crops of mustard
hug the stalks of love
.

fields
Taue (Rice Planting) Haiku
reflecting shadows
puddles of water on fields
workers in sedge hats
~
fields filled with water
men descends to place seedlings
gilded performers
~
women in kasa
traditional performance
the paddies planted
~
bow down in prayer
planting the mother earth’s womb
promising fine crops
~
young girls singing songs
hoping for a good harvest
time for festival
~
aura of dances
enhanced crop’s vitality
melodies in air
