First snow...
     first monk
         in the snow
—Vincent Tripi

What can someone
mouth full of potatoes say
about the winter moon?
—Vincent Tripi

waiting for me
to give it life ~
my death poem
—karma tenzing wangchuk

and:

Athens wind~
the fish market
the incense vendor
—Stanford M. Forrester
Delightfully simple three-element verse displaying toriawase: the harmonious juxtaposition (or arrangement) of separate but related things. No season given, but the mind leaps to summer!

I hope there are still copies available. These poets are top-notch. Thanks. I’ve been enjoying this Book of the Week thing. Good idea.
