A Couple of Japanese-Inspired Poems


So, yeah. Haiku is un-translatable into the English language. I get that. But here are a couple of "standard" English-language, autumn-inspired haiku's that I wrote today as examples for my creative writing students. I don't think they're too bad.
***
He hands her a cup

That’s full of apple cider

Too soon it empties

 ***

Red salamander

He doesn’t know that the fall

Comes without warning
