Haiku

初雪や
ウィンクしていく
人もいる

This is the haiku that appears in the photo and haiku calender at the culture center I teach at. I translate it:

The first snow and
winking
another person

Or, as the calender translated it:

first snow--
passerby
wink at me

Today, during my lesson, I presented examples in five languages I have some (albeit meager) knowledge of. This felt good. Damn good.

Seriously, check out the Heng Sure book. Seriously.
