RE: Mizu No Oto - Every Image Has Its Haiku - Edition #37 (English)
Caught this Marco, just in time!
Evocative picture. I love your exposition. Here's my response:
The shadow
Lengthens at day's end
Ripe fruit rots
I am a bit divided on your haiku, because on one hand it is beautiful, on the other I believe that the photo does not represent a fruit, but a hole in the stone where a small fertile layer has formed.
Hi Marco:
Sorry, I still see a strawberry that has fallen into sand. Don't see a rock at all. Must be some kind of visual disconnect. My granddaughter, daughter and son claim I have a bit of a spatial deficit (innate, not age related). Maybe that's it. Thank you for saying the haiku is beautiful. I thought, after I posted, that a better word for 'rot' could have been used. Not exactly a beautiful, inspiring image.
Glad to see the contest going strong. So many people are enriched by writing haiku. Including me :)
