I'm on a train going up the coast of the Izu peninsula nearing Ito on my way to Tokyo, then another hour or so to Narita airport to meet Carolyn. It's a beautiful day along the coast, so here are couple of haiku to try and capture the day's experience.
This first one is in Japanese:
Itoh made
Umi utsukushii
Kumo ga aru
Translation:
Journey to Ito
Beautiful ocean waves crash
Clouds in the distance
Surfers on the beach
Catching the waves this morning
Wish I were younger
Carolyn coming
Narita I'm on my way
to meet my lover
Another one in Japanese:
Sakura mada
ki ni aru koto de
nioitai
Translation:
Cherry blossoms still
on the trees in the distance
Wish I could smell them

A little bit of Japan on the North Shore:
Reading Jeff's haiku
While sitting at Acura
Brake pads: six percent.
What is my treat now?
Reading Jeff's new blog entry.
So fascinating ...
Eric and Lisa,
You're both so clever! What great responses. Keep 'em coming!
