Night.
Winter.
Silver world.
A birch tree -
With a last leaf
On its branches
Hides naked moon
From curious glances -
Forgot, innocently,
Its own nakedness
And beauty.

I like the stripped down, imagistic style of this piece; it reminds me of William Carlos Williams. Thank you for the read, Ris Yerg.

Yes, I like minimalism! And if it reminds you Japanese stile - I'm happy! I like Japanese poetry!
