Six Haikus

Just discernible
Climbing through cliff clouded mist...
A Solitary gull

In these brief moments
Strutting upon this stage we...
Will all pass-away

Life's and Idiots tale
Full of sound and fury that...
Signifies nothing

This Itinerant
Vagabond... just another
Yamabushi

The homeless gather
All forlorn for the free food...
By the Palace Gates 

Torn apart by strife
And the carnage of war yet...
Life... it goes on still
