Rain puddle — the traffic light changes / green to yellow. /tk
Tall downtown building —

Withering bush — a branch's image ripples / in the pond.

this one is very nice. I really like the minimalism in your writings. I normally like the first 3 lines in itself, of your posts... this one is very gentle and zen like... are a zen practicioner?... cheers.

good set, Masago..

traffic lights and climes keep changing -- signals help.
the wind seems sure to have coloured leaves
and reflections -- good at any stage...

my appreiciation now is going beyond concepts.

thanks Masago..
wishes!

Thank you all on behalf of Toshiaki and me.

Blog Author: You are very kind. Thank you. I'm not an official Zen practitioner but I like to write haiku with a Zen approach (objective observance).

Devika: I'm pleased your appreciation is being stretched. :-)

I really like the first two - the way they give us a burst of colour where we might not expect to find it.
