bay spring flowers
Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge Month May 31st: a haiku by Basho
do not doubt it,
the bay has its spring too,
the flowers of the tide © Basho (1644-1694)
flow from the warm river mouth
stripers have a shad picnic petra domina

Nice contrast here, also first line goes so smoothly, second one - brings the surprising revelation for readers ~ very cool!
ReplyDeleteThank you, nothing like a little surprise ending!
DeleteOh, I love this "river mouth"...I wanted to bring in a river but did not how to word it...you did it so beautifully, my dear!
ReplyDeleteI cheated, as usual. Went on line and read about bay activity in spring time. And there is where the river mouth came to mind.
DeleteThat's not cheating Janice, it's excellent research! I too rather enjoyed this a lot!
ReplyDeleteOk, so it is learning and allowing other input! Glad you rather enjoyed this one .. a lot!
DeleteI agree with Humbird's thoughts on this..very well done Janice:)
ReplyDeleteI was not even thinking of it as a surprise ending, just writing about Nature's events. Thanks for the kind comment.
DeleteExcellent continuation Janice
