Today’s Haiku (April 26, 2017)

公魚をさみしき顔となりて喰ふ　　草間時彦

wakasagi o samishiki kao to narite kuu

              surf smelt

              I eat it

              with a sad face

                                                        Tokihiko Kusama

Fay’s Note: Tokihiko Kusama  (1920-2003)   ‘wakasagi’ (surf smelt) is a spring kigo.
