Inspiration Haiku by Onitsura:
tani-mizu ya ishi mo utayomu yama-zakura
the wild cherry:
stones also are singing their songs
in the valley stream
From the stones’ cool throat
Spring ballads composed by the
Stream’s velvet coaxing
恵
Wistful ballads pass
Between stones and spring blossoms
Long distance affair
恵
Stream stones cantillate
A sweet muffled serenade
For those who listen
恵

Oh, but once in the Swedish Mountains we were tenting next to a stream when it started to rain. As the water started to rise big rocks started to tumble… More like thunder actually 🙂
hahaha a heavy metal concert it was then
🙂 or at least a Mahler symphony
^^
aloha KZ – i like the word combination of “stream stones”. it brings up clear images. very cool. aloha.
