Suite: Eight Haiku by Richard Wright (2001) 
     1. Across the river / Huge dark sheets of cool spring rain / Falling on a town.
     2. The harbor at dawn: / The faint scent of oranges / On gusts of March wind.
     3. From a tenement, / The blue jazz of a trumpet / Weaving autumn mists.
     4. A spring pond as calm / As the lips of the dead girl / Under its water.
     5. A spring sky so clear / That you feel you are seeing / Into tomorrow.
     6. How lonely it is: / A winter world full of rain, / Rain raining on rain.
     7. A cool April breeze / Clears out the smoke of incense / From the cathedral.
     8. A long winter rain: / A whistling old man whittles / A dream on a stick.
