At the 40th Anniversary Retreat of the Founding of Yuki Teikei Haiku Society,
our founders: Kiyoshi and Kiyoko Tokutomi were ever-present in memory.
Carol Steele created the splendid ikebana for this special event.
A bit of sourness
reminds me of my first love,
strawberry milkshake
Kiyoshi Tokutomi
A child’s New year’s gift
the days when I last received one
now far away
Kiyoko Tokutomi
From Mr. Tokutomi's generous thought about haiku-writing
--I think English-speaking people
would like this, too--
came our group and all of the wonderful outings,
rich fellowship and friendships; the publications
and travel and new knowledge
and haiku experiences galore!
We are very grateful!
