"Alan-san's haiku came to me with the Japanese translation. This is a good translation, written in the perfect haiku format 5-7-5. Mi-zu-ha-e-te Hi-ka-ri-ni-ka-su-mu Ko-ga-mo-ka-na"

Thank you for your kind comments. Most poetry should be written with musicality in mind, and haiku that are read by a group can be pretty amazing on that account.

all my very best,

thank you! I love this and wish I could hear it. I am sensitive to sounds, think in sounds and fascinated by languages . This is refreshing to see and read.
