卒業すどの子もみんな活火山　　小池つと夢　　　　

sotsugyô su dono ko minna kakkazan

graduation…

all the children

are live volcanos

Tsutomu Koike

from “Shûchakueki” (The Last Stop), haiku collection of Tsutomu Koike, Gendai Haiku Kyokai (Modern Haiku Association), Tokyo, 2019

Fay’s Note: Japanese school year ends in March and ‘graduation’ or ‘graduate’ is a spring kigo.
