wood ducks in descent
cassoulet simmering
at dusk

一群木鴨紛紛飛下來
傍晚時刻法式慢燉菜
散發微光

Bio Sketch
Neal Whitman lives with his wife, Elaine, in Pacific Grove, California, where he is a docent at Point Pinos Lighthouse. Visitors who come there from near and far inspire him to write poetry that takes the “particular" to convey the “universal". Neal is Vice President of the United Haiku and Tanka Society.
A moment of delicious delight is keenly captured in this multi-sensory haiku with a visually and emotionally effective juxtaposition of descending wood ducks and simmering cassoulet.
