    I'm a sucker for cicada and mountains. Thank you both.

    These beautiful haiku feel just right - Autumn draws in and the light changes, new poems stir.
    Thanks and a bow to the poets three.

    & cheers for the editor who so softly steered me away from words like "Pure Land" and Zen"
    cheers for his zen-like restraint!
