Wednesday Haiku - Week 7: Peter Newton





Wednesday Haiku, Week #7




wood's edge --
stepping inside
the sound of river
Peter Newton










watching the river
through a window of trees...
spring rain falls
Issa
translated by David G. Lanoue











best,
Don

    aloha Peter. i find it intriguing that by evoking the sound of river at wood's edge the sense of smell comes up in me and i inhale finding the scent of wet forest at the river's edge. cool on that - it takes me home to my growing up days. aloha.

    I live at wood's edge so these resonated with me.
