A's haikus — week 21

This is the last full week of haikus!

Day 141 • 23 Jan • Kyoto to Tokyo to Nikko

On the Shinkansen,
My ekiben boxed lunch has
Twenty compartments.

Day 142 • 24 Jan • Nikko

We have five nights here
And the place we came for is
Closed for a month. Bah!

Day 143 • 25 Jan • Nikko

The maze confuddles,
Bemuses, confuses—then
Regurgitates me.

Day 144 • 26 Jan • Nikko

A bludge day today.
We stay out of the cold and
Entertain ourselves.

Day 145 • 27 Jan • Nikko

At Tobu World Square,
We giants tower over
The world's monuments.

Day 146 • 28 Jan • Nikko to Shibu Onsen

In the onsen, the
Warm water envelopes us
As snowflakes drift down.

Day 147 • 29 Jan • Shibu Onsen to Ishiuchi
