ducks resting on spring grass
dappled light
ahead of his love and her nest
a swan guards the river

Kristjaan at Carpe Diem invites us to revise two haiku by Soen Nakagawa (1907-1984). The first one inspired two haiku. A shakuhachi is a flute that was originally introduced in Japan from China during the 6th century and is often used in meditation.
We wish you all a very happy Monday and a wonderful new week!
With love, Xenia xxx
