729. Donkey's Bed
cold night...
i find a warm rock
on which to sleep
[National Geographic July 2006, page 22: It is estimated that more than a quarter of road accidents in Namibia involve collisions with donkeys — often because they lie down to sleep on the warm pavement at night. To prevent such accidents, a group is working to outfit donkeys with reflective ear tags. So far 500 have been tagged.]

724. Anniversary Poem
A year ago today (2005-07-24) I wrote the first of many haiku. This is that first one I wrote:
she closes her book
turns out the light...
summer weekend's end
In celebration of this event I present the following anniversary poem (#724):
oh butterfly...
are you so still because
i'm near?
I would like to thank all of you for your suggestions, kind words, and encouragement.

718. Taste of Nankai
summer breeze...
we cross a high bridge
in Osaka's tram
[Yesterday we took a ride in an electric trolly street car across Edmonton's High Level bridge, the World's highest streetcar river crossing.

The streetcar (HDK 247) was built in Japan in 1921 and operated as part of the Nankai Railway in Osaka till 1990. It was then transferred to Edmonton and in 1995 it began operating as a tourist attraction.]
