A FAIRY (senryu)

Amoung the flowers

Sitting vision of beauty

My eyes were deceived.





     ********



There before my eyes

face delicate as a doll

hair finer than silk.



     ********



Blowing in the wind

Eyes green as emeralds

Emeralds they would fade.



     *******



Off in the distance

I suddenly hear sweet songs

They are calling me.



     ********



I reached out to touch

But as I reached to touch

she fluttered away.



     ********



Becoming a dream

that will forever haunt me

Leaving just a song.
