Shrine path through the woods Shower of cicadas’ sound Visit the war dead

Alley balcony Mountains of morning glories Sparrows come to see

Crimson dragonflies Floating at points in mid-air A sign of autumn

Typhoon’s gone birds back Chirping to their full measure Before next one comes

Umbrella and skirt Flap in coordination While she fights typhoon

Birds flying sideways A sign a typhoon nearing Shelter down below

Trees sway like crazy Outside the hospital window Typhoon hits my mind (Story: https://ashiakira.wordpress.com/story-poems-2/typhoon-on-mind/)

Threat of triple typhoons From the Pacific scary Crickets unconcerned

For whom the fragrance Lilies glow under starlight Is that all for me?

Gleaming in starlight Lilies off the mountain path Stop walking awhile
