Assorted Haiku

Late nights and no sleep:
Many years devoted to
Books and one's learning.


No inspiration:
Dig up another's piece while
Composing music.


No clouds and calm skies.
Easy to take for granted.
Hot hours in Spring.


Too often abused.
Cherish always while it lasts:
Your mother's free love.


Abstract emotion:
Another language of tears
Makes music's meaning.


Pay your dues while young -
Treasure stored up in heaven.
Money won't do now.


Try not to bellow
At me. Remember always,
Anger is a sin.


Con-fu-ci-us say,
"This year be year of rat, so
Eat up dog and cat!"


Seagulls through the sky;
Freedom in three dimensions;
Hovering on air.
