not enough words to describe
it all ends in tears
haiku's are easy
but sometimes they don't make sense
refrigerator
computer freezes
my mind electrifies me
happiness is gone

夏の花
美しくさく
雨がふく
A translation of the above and how to read it
natsu no hana
utsukushiku saku
ame ga fuku

flower of summer,
blooms ever so beautiful
the rain falls softly
teleportation

or somebody else?
