Hiroshige's Hawk

This is Fay Aoyagi. She has helped us a lot with translation from Japanese.

She always adds something special and thought-provoking to any haiku gathering.

I liked the way she looked here, with a golden halo. You can tell

from the mustard and the ketchup that we are in an eatery--

probably after some haiku meeting; 

part of the wonder of haiku groups is the fellowship!

I ride on the back
