A Haiku Notebook - written by Tim Chamberlain
Leaf 380 – Looking Back
Shiro Takagi - Kites Rising at Dawn (1985)
There’s something magical about kite flying ... It’s a long, long time since I last did it.
Keen to cut the clouds – his fingers let the line unspool.
Keen to cut the clouds –
his fingers
let the line unspool.
