Lovely haiku. Fine pairing and Issa too! Andrea
warm winds and mellow grace, Don, thanks. Except "Hunting for Bamboo Sprouts"... that captures the essence of cold! Thanks again.
Thanks a ton, Don.
You use the 'montage'(film making) effect well — within this haiku genre.
I like the beginning ku with spring passing into summer and back to Issa's spring.
The passing of the year compressed within three haiku poems :)
Thanks for including my work.

Beautiful landscapes
Thanks, Andrea. Bowing to Issa, and all.
Nice to dip the toes in icy spring water on a sweltering day.
Kala ... serendipity makes things happen ... I did try to catch the transitions once I was nudged in that direction (by the works) - thanks for you fine words again.
Cheers, Charles.
Stunning to find my haiku on such a insightful page... I am deeply honored to be in all of your company
Beautiful - the haiku,the everything.
Thanks for the pleasure.
