      On the first sky of 1999,
      Described myself,
      With one touch of writing.

      By Thackery Saturn - '99.01

      Sad news.

      Hope turns around,
      Like a carousel,
      Forever.

      Out of reality.

      Never to be true.

Haiku : Midori TOKINO '98.12

      The God of Death,
      Sometimes,
      Is waiting for us,
      With his scythe,
      Swinging.

      No way to escape from him.

      Translation : Thackery '99.01

Haiku : ChibiDevi '98.08

      On a clear and hot day in Summer,
      A cicada's cast-off shell,
      Found on the tree.
      I felt the sheer mortality of a creature,
      While listening to its sharp singing or crying,
      To live through a short life span,
      Out of the earth.

    (Translator's Note)

      I think the cicada's buzz is a call for a mate. Maybe it sings when it has found one or cries when it has not.

      Translation : Thackery '98.10

Haiku : ChibiDevi '98.02

      On a fine day in spring,
      Stepped into the stream,
      Being barefooted.

      Cool water penetrated into my body and mind,
      To reset everything,
      And make a new start.
