Japanese Quartet

Robert Haigh

NIGHT SCENE (Haiku)

The moon sets her sails
to navigate the night sky
with great majesty

Stars twinkle and shine
in a deep velvet backdrop
as dreamers dream on

*** *** *** ***

MAN IN THE MOON (Dodoitsu)

The man in the moon told me
heaven is often just a
heartbeat away for dreamers
who knock on love's door

*** *** *** ***

YOUR SMILE (Senryu)

Warm and welcoming —
your smile brightens up my day
like the summer sun

*** *** *** ***

OUR LOVE (Tanka)

Seasons come and go
but our love remains constant —
no matter the clime
our love will travel with us
wherever we choose to go
