New Year
a dewdrop holding
the morning sun
Chen-ou Liu
This wonderful New Year's greeting arrived in my inbox yesterday from the poet Chen-ou Liu, who lives in Canada. I asked his gracious permission to share it blog readers here and he was kind of enough to grant it.
if someone asks
answer: it's a dewdrop
OK?

Dear Chen-ou, I hope your double new years will be good to you and each passing day will leave a gift. Many thanks for your kind words...the haiku came from a juxtaposition of events on the day I wrote it... but the coming together of the event an Issa's dew drop haiku brought me peace and I thought it a good place to share it under your marvelous haiku. I enjoy your haiku often. Many thanks, Merrill
Dear Chen-ou, May the new year be good to you. Thank you for your kind words as your haiku brought insight into the true nature of things.... Many thanks, Merrill

And, Merrill, so very well said.
