My wife bought this small 1962 collection of haikus at the Des Moines Library book sale for 25 cents. It has charming decorations by Jeff Hill in a pleasant blue.
My favorite selections tell a sad little story of loss as well as conjure up an arresting image:
That winter when my
Faithless lover
Left me…
How cold the snow seemed
Jakushi
Since my house
Burned down, I now own
A better view
Of the rising moon
Masahide
