Today’s Haiku (February 26, 2012)

落椿われならば急流へ落つ　　　鷹羽狩行

ochi-tsubaki ware naraba kyûryû e otsu

if I were a fallen camellia

I would fall

into a rapid stream

                                            Shugyo Takaha

from “Haiku Shiki” (“Haiku Four Seasons,” a monthly haiku magazine) ,  March 2010 Issue, Tokyo Shiki Shuppan, Tokyo
