Meigetsuin ~明月院~
first frost
somebody puts a knitted cap
on a Jizo statue
初霜やお地蔵さまに毛糸帽
In a sunny day, I went to Meigetsuin, a temple at Kita-Kamakura.
Its inner garden opens only in spring (a season of iris) and autumn (colored leaves).
The temple's symbol is rabbits. At the front entrance a rabbit welcomes us.
Inside the temple leaves of maple tree were beautifully colored.
After walking the garden of the temple, I went to Ishikawa coffee.
The shop' uses an old Japanese house.
The silent and peaceful atmosphere and hot relaxing coffee will entertain guests.

Portal, Indecorous
Last night, I had a dream.
A man in silver armor took me into a portal.
Is he a prince or a MP? That’s the question.
***
A high-definition camera is indecorous, indeed.
It takes a pore in the skin.
"Isn't your camera HD? Then, no close-up, please"

Philodox
Lord Twitter is quite a philodox. He never stops suggesting me ‘Who to follow’.
Twitter hiccups every time I try to block spammers.
'All right, twitter. You don't let me doing this, although you are forcing your suggestion all the time.'
Then I hit on this. It's my first-ever top5 in artwiculate.
My heartfelt gratitude for everyone who voted for it.
