The first one autumn rain.. has a philosophical feel to it.
The second conveys a great sense of stillness. Rachael Stanley
All I can say, Don, is
drip
drip
drip...
[tiny splash, heard only by a newborn snail, nosing about in the mud]
Some fine insights on the rain.

we too
get wet!
Rachael -
Thanks very much - yes, they are something of a match - Jeff's catches the richness of resonance that isn't - the essential core of haiku, I'd say.
Ronald Baatz just is always amazing. The evocation of sound here is just beautiful because sound is somehow instantly tone (not that does resonate) - could this really be only 5 words long?
Don
Tom,
Yes, there is such sound in all three of these, sound as tone, as I mentioned above.
Now, of course, I'm curious about how snails hear.
And 'here' it is ...

There's something so incredible about dew.
speaking towards that dew drop:
been re-into Dōgen's 'moon in a dewdrop'
actually began with the poems near the end... & worked backwards..
those Tanahashi / Whalen & the Tanahashi / Unger
translations...
&, anyboddhi know this Brian Unger ? I think I just might... name is familiar.
great 'stuff' Life = Art/Poetry, eh ?
