First attempt for author Eliza Witte for expressing in the form of Haiku. The experiences that provoked this book were hidden in an album of pictures depicting the serenity of a season in a faraway land. The album is told through this particular poetry form.
Poems from the book:
Wide-eyed moon, wolf howls,
Season changes to Autumn,
Wind brings who knows what.
River demons can't
Drink from abundant water.
Sleepless aridness.
Cherry leaves turned red,
The juicy fruit was eaten.
They'll be left to rest.
Salty taste in mouth,
The end of fishing season,
Bitterness remains.
Guilt as purple as
Maple expecting winter snow
To whiten its stains.
Tomtits don't chase mild
Wind currents to escape South.
They warm each other.
Faith no more in temple
As the blizzard slaps one's face.
Let the candle burn.
Regretful sun-ray,
The grasshopper still wished for
Another second.
The hurricane blew
To ruin the old wooden home.
The boy held his toy.
Frost on geranium.
Two old souls at the last turn
Of their life cycle.
Heavy rains woke up
The toad. Stiff limbs pursuing
A new hideaway.
The marshes, awkward
In their silence and sorrow,
Don't see the rainbow.
