Haiku by Yakov Azriel -

I just recently discovered this poet. I was waiting to transcribe all 13 of his haiku about the children of Ya'akov Avinu, but it's slow going. So here's part. I like the work I've seen of his. These are from the start of his poetry book on Shmot. In the past poets have seemed to be fine, even pleased with my posting their work; if this author or any other prefers I don't sing their praise/share their ware they can let me know.

Reuben
The purple mandrake
That blossoms among the wheat,
Hidden and ashamed.

Simeon
A yellow daisy
That cannot decide to be
A flower or a weed.

Levi
From his tree's resin,
the fragrance of frankincense
Will fill the Temple.

Judah
Blushing in remorse,
A vine's grapes can repent too
and regally reign.

Dan
A tree by a stream
That generously bequeaths
Ripe pomegranates

Naphtali
A small fig tree grows,
Unobserved by the many
But loved by the few
