Slow fall of browned leaves

Winter wind but kind and gentle

Year’s quiet ending

    Thank you for your kind support for my photography this year. I was so happy to read your poetry, and look forward to more in 2015. It will be New Year here (Tokyo) in less than 2 hours!
    良いお年をお迎え下さい！ A Happy New Year to you and your family.

      明けましておめでとうございます。何時も良い写真を見せて頂いております。私は寅年で、何となく親近感が湧きます。私も東京在住です。都心に近いのですが、今朝は新しい年の非常に静かな幕開けとなりました。この静けさが今後も続くと良いのですが。今年もよろしく。

        度々申し訳ありません。
        御本「伊奈葉くんアメリカを見る」をアマゾンにて拝見しました。
        近いうちにぜひ拝読させて頂きたいと思います。

        拙著、「伊奈葉くん…」と「稲葉さん…」、書いては見たものの殆ど読まれず、読んでくださる人があればこれ以上の幸せはございません。半世紀以上前の若き日に渡米、帰国後はごく平凡な生活をしておりましたが、ひょんなことから当時の友人たちと連絡がとれ、５０年以上を過ぎての再会。その経験に基づいてのフィクションです。本当に読んで下されば嬉しいばかりです。

        新年早々拙著に興味を示してくるる方がおられるなど、私にとって、”こいつぁー春から縁起が良いうぇー”、です。

    I love how these haiku poems “click” with me when I read them. So much information in so few words. My imagination becomes animated and I see the whole story. Very impressive! Thank you for sharing. – Aaron

    Ashi-san,

    Happy New Year, my friend. May the next year bring as many beautiful moments of inspiration for you as the one just past. Thank you for sharing so many of those moments with all of us….

    gigoid, the dubious

    P.S. Wouldn’t your “about AshiAkira” paragraph be more accurate if it described you as “a resident of old Tokyo”, rather than the other way around? Your haiku tells us, you spend too much time walking in beauty, to actually BE old…

    😉

    Ned, aka, gigoid 😎

      Happy New Year to you as well. I feel much honored with such a kind comment on my works. As for the “old resident of Tokyo,” I think I’ll leave it as it is. A sudden change of it might give a funny impression to the people who have already read it.

    Golden brown..and twisted creeps
    all the leaves fall as I sleep
    under the tree I am buried deep
