Wednesday Haiku, Week #38

walking past the waterliles i open my palms to the rain

Pamela A. Babusci Frogpond, Sept. 1996

mother's worn face
twilight on the shallow pond
my own reflection

Dawn Robin Albertson

suddenly
the dog stops barking...
lotus blossoms!

Issa
translated by David G. Lanoue

best,

Don

Woodland Rose said...: Lovely. I am still amazed at the pairing now of two haiku and Issa. Wonderful fun. Thanks.; October 5, 2011 at 6:27 PM
Issa's Untidy Hut said...: Thanks much ... I was afraid when I went to two haiku a post, I wouldn't be able to balance it, but the opposite has proved true, at least so far.

And you have sussed out my secret - I'm having a ball!; October 6, 2011 at 7:02 AM

Elegant, pristine, perfectly balanced,

-- and WV wants me to say "flea m[n]emn[onics]" (the tiny filigreed synapse maps of the memory bank of a particularly discreet flea?)...

In any event, yes, with a good friend, the experience of

same thought, same time

is always one of the pure pleasures.; October 10, 2011 at 10:26 AM
