Two Haiku 2008: ancient fountain; clear tidepool...
ancient fountain
into which now falls only
its weight of winters

Haiku, February 1, 2008
clear shallows—
gulf weed floats over
its shadows

*gulfweed/sargassum - a New Year kigo
I want to remember this poem, "A Measuring Worm," by Richard Wilbur, published in The New Yorker.

winter rain...2008
winter rain...
again the sound of water
changes shape

Haiku, 2008
*first written as "summer rain..." for a photo, but this is winter, and we just had a winter rain last week. In other areas than Florida, the sound of water changes shape even more drastically, variably and noticeably.
A older "sound" tanka from 2001:
How could I help it?
escaping with the spring moon
on this quilted night...
somewhere a slow, shifting sound
and ink melts, slips over stone.
