blind man

a blind man 

stops to listen...

crossing hawks


~ Christina Chin 


耳澄ます盲人のゐて鷹渡る 千秋


One of the two haiku featured in the Autumn Moon Haiku Journal which I'd like to share. I wrote this for Albert in his late forties who works as a masseur at the golf club. He takes a bus to work and back. He recognises anyone who stops to give him a lift from or to the bus stop by scent or sound.

thousand stars


thousand stars

twinkle in midair

fairy lights

~ Christina Chin 




amber hearth


amber hearth
the strong aroma 
of mulled coffee 

windows tightly shut


windows tightly shut
the aroma of hot soup
escapes the chimney 

warm by the fire


warm 
by the fire
candles on the dinner table 

listen to the snow fall


listen to the snow fall
likens soft flutter
of butterflies
