Haiku: Stars on the River

rowan berries on the bank high above a fast-flowing river

lighting the stove
a salmon follows the stars

We are deeply honoured and delighted that the above haiku has also been included in the World Haiku Series 2021, with a beautiful Japanese translation by Mr Hidenori Hiruta.

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words dear Sue 💚 It looks as if this once was a gatehouse too, the ruins of the grand house are still there at the top of the hill 💛

  9. The first photo is of a really lovely spot: the shingled roof, and the path through the woods. The next two shots are wonderful studies in how attention can lift the common everyday sights into something beautiful. I also think your haiku(s) are other examples of that.
