Early Morning

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



autumn morning -
a whiff of perfume from
last night's dream




morning fog -
a heron fades in
.... fades out




:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::





On my way uphill to the mailbox, in splendid white invisibility ...

This heron, first his voice in the void, then the sound of wings, then a swish of body, sound of wings, voice in the void ..


How many haiku have been written about this cliché ? I wonder ..
And yet, when it happens, it is breathtaking !

. Heron (aosagi) Egret (shirasagi) .
