Haiku about Rodin's "The Thinker"

In spring,2007, I visited the National Museum of Western Art in Ueno Park, Tokyo. We can see Rodin's "The Thinker" near the entrance of the museum. Then I wrote haiku, which appeared on the Asahi Haikuist Network by David McMurray.

In sunshine

Rodin's thinking man

greeting spring

春光に考えるひと会釈する

shunkou ni kangaeru hito eshakusuru

This autumn I visited the museum again. I also wrote haiku, which had quite a different image from the previous haiku. This might be because the seasons are different.

dreams of eternity

黄葉に考えるひと永遠の夢
