#3



a mist settles
over a tiny isle of pines....
hide-and-seek


Lake Winnipesaukee, NH lakes region


(My adaptation of 3 haiku by Issa, 19th century Japan, below)

                                darkness settles                                      peeking in, peeking out
                                over a tiny isle of pines....                       of the mist....
                                a skylark singing                                     Mount Tsukuba

                                                               island of pines --
                                                               while mist turns dark
                                                               a skylark singing
