Fukuoka Haiku

We’re in Kyushu this weekend for a quick getaway. While looking at ruins of the ancient Kyushu Capitol I saw a “haiku/tanka box”. You were supposed to take some paper and a pencil from the box, write a haiku then drop it into the box. Four times a year they choose 15 winners. Here’s my entry—I’ll be sure to post again when I receive my prize.

sweet blossoming plum
wafts over ancient ruins
the stones are unmoved

woa, blog update overload!
i think your loyal blog readers (aka - ryan and I) would appreciate a steady stream of updates rather than a sudden bombardment. …just a friendly feedback/suggestion.

What he neglects to mention is that there were no plum blossoms.
