RE: Steem Monster/ Hairshare Giveaway! Who is Your Favorite Steemian Writer Comment Challenge!

I almost forgot to take part in this one! How could I?!

Anyways. I'd like to nominate D. LaSpina aka @dbooster here on Steemit. He's an american photographer and haiku poet living in Japan. Not only he writes his own poems, he translates a lot of the classic Japanese ones into English, providing explanation of things or objects in the verses so that people who are unfamiliar with them could get the real feel of what is being described, which I find pretty cool.
Here is an example of his verse:

komainu, old friend
let us watch the red leaves fall
autumn at the shrine

And another one, a silly one:

O coffee!
nectar of the gods
get in me now
