Haiku
Languid winter came
Kissed my brow till I froze
Indoors now, I stay.
Haiku
Overcast, dull summer
Where are life, love and laughter?
Rain streaks my window.
Senryu
In an empty house
Silence is a sad prisoner
That sighs in the night.
Tanka
How lamentable it is
This broil to keep the belly
Inside the belt
Not swelling over as a dough
The baker forgot to knead.
