H1N1

I have not (yet?) got it; H1N1-flu. Anyway it is here in Finland and also a few died already. The vaccination against it is going on, but there are some troubles to get it. And there are many don't going to take it, and also some (angry) wanting it JUST NOW. And for tomorrow the weather people promised quite a lot snow!

     flushy weather --  
     the scarecrow not yet 
     got a H1N1 vaccination

I wrote this after reading one Issa, year 1805:

a rush of red leaves
blown against him ...
scarecrow

      under the open sky 
         bareheaded 
        thicket moon 

Yesterday I visited Helsinki, Seafarers' Memorial, see in Finnish:

This time I took an Express bus, and when returning back to Turku, there was an open sky and the waxing moon.

     returning home -- 
     above the motorway 
     a bright, unbusy moon

    just a few wave 
    and an empty shore -- 
    migrated birds

    gusty morning -- 
    fallen leaves gathered 
    with other leaves 

happy yellow leaf jubilating October day 

    discarded --
    wet leaves 
    the closest friends

    So young 
    and now raked up -- 
    Dead Leaf's Alley

     demonstration -- 
     balloons 
     trying to rise 

I hope you to visit Akita's haiku page, I also wrote some haiku there as a comment!

   harvest time -- 
   approaching winter 
   ready to celebrate

      shadows 
      invited by the bright sun -- 
      a stony street

    shortened 
    October day -- 
    jackdaw's young  shadow
