Here are some of my typhoon haiku up to August 10, 2004.

September is the best season for typhoon in Japan, so I wonder about
next month !

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

kumotachi ya
doko e isogu no -
nowake sugi

Hey, Clouds!
Where are you rushing?
Typhoon is over!

He, Wolken!
Wohin so eilig?
Der Taifun ist vorbei

ooooooooooooooooooo

some forgotten clouds
hooked to the mountains <>
typhoon is over

vergessene Wolken
haengen noch an den Bergen <>
der Taifun ist vorbei

ooooooooooooooooooo

pure red sunset <>
typhoon clouds racing low
over the valley

total roter Sonnenuntergang <>
Taifunwolken sausen tief
ueber das Tal

ooooooooooooooooooo

typhoon <>
in the folds of my robe
a bee hiding

ooooooooooooooooooo

typhoon morning <>
the Buddha in my garden
smiles

ooooooooooooooooooo

Sleepless night <>
The typhoon mocks
The weather forecast !

Ooooooooooooooooooo

treading water
over my valley
typhoon rain clouds

ooooooooooooooooooo

cleaning the street
with a broom like old Jittoku <>
typhoon destruction

Gabi san after the typhoon August 2, 2004

ooooooooooooooooooo

after the typhoon <>
among rain-drenched leaves a butterfly
dries its wings

nach dem Taifun <>
zwischen regen-nassen Blaettern ein Schmetterling
trocknet seine Fluegel

ooooooooooooooooooo
