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
A snow monkey's life:
Eat, onsen, fight, onsen, eat.
Tomorrow, repeat.
