Holding chopsticks all alone - the snow keeps falling

47.
Love Haiku: Japanese Poems of Yearning, Passion, and Rememberance by Patricia Donegan - Valentine's Book! I love haiku. But more so modern haiku that breaks away from the connection to nature. This is a slim book collecting a bunch of Japanese haiku relating to love. They are translated into english, but the author doesn't bother to convert them into English haiku, which was kinda disappointing. Just goes to show: Never send a buddhist to do a poet's job.
