with the hooting of the owl –
dripping tap

mountain behind mountain behind mountain
petals of a rose

The poem in the above artwork by Bashō may be translated:
quietly, quietly
yellow mountain roses fall -
sound of the rapids

no mountain not like
the ones back home

This site always give me such an uplift. It's beautiful in poetry and in pictures. - Carolyne
I've been dreaming of rapids lately.
Thanks so much, Carolyne.
Charles ...
Riding the dream ...
That street (sm)art owl sure gives great directions ~ scroll downward to enter the fathomless hoot and drip, rapids' roar mountain after mountain, and by the end of this Wednesday Haiku posting, the beyond of it, altogether.
Great haiku by Larry!
Its an honor Don, to have Basho's artwork accompany one's haiku.
Thank you..
Thanks, Donna, just the kind of review I like.
The honor is all mine ... such fine work. Don
