suggestions of violet

The following haiku is presented on faded yellow background and illustrated with a sumi-e painting of pelicans flying parallel to an overpass


along the arc 
of the overpass... 
a pod of pelicans

Thanks to Prof David McMurray for including my poem at a Asahi Haiku Network www.asahi.com/ajw/articles...

Theme: imperfection
drawing class
the teacher tells us
not to worry

late snow slanting down
the bright fat water drops
in them, upside down
the low whitening skyline
fades me from the asphalt
