A haiku for comment
Hazy March sun
Over the boar wallow -
My poem is at ease.
(Henshoji-ato, 9.3.05)
Comment 1: I wrote this haiku last spring in the woods near Hirosawa Pond, Kyoto. I found a muddy place where wild boar come to bathe at night. The time and the place conspired to make me feel 'at ease' (I wouldn't have been if it had been night!). In the haiku, I have become the poem itself. Not allowed? In choosing this, our first piece on the blog for comment, I tip my hat to my fellow editor. Next, one of his? (Tito)
