And now, I’d like to introduce a good friend of mine who writes beautiful haiku. Here is Sindy Robinson.
Thank you, Mr. Emori. I’ve never read haiku in front of an audience before, so I’m nervous.
Just relax and you’ll do fine.
Okay. So, I will read a haiku I wrote in a Japanese tea garden.
I’m sorry, Sindy. Could you speak a little louder, so everyone can hear you.
Sure. No problem. So, here goes…In the light of autumn.

I was very tired, and I took a break.
Could you speak a little louder, so everyone can hear you.
