Still pond...
each skip leaves
a tiny kiss.
About Masago
- Masago
- Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
- From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

1048. Skip, Skip, Skip...
Still pond...
each skip leaves
a tiny kiss.
Link with 1047: Disk-like.
[As a youngster I learned how to skip rocks on a lake or pond. I was shown to start with a flat, disk-shaped stone and then to fling it with a spin at a shallow angle toward the body of water. I was thrilled when I eventually got it to skip several times without it just hitting the water with a "Sploop".]
I haven't skipped rocks for years -- maybe I should go at it. :)
Stone Age?:))) The joy of the First Man in touch with Cosmos?

Polona: Thanks.

With 8 words you took me back 40 years. Thank you.
Hazel: Thank you for your kind words, and for visiting.
I like the construction of the poem: a still pond, then a skip which caught my sight, and the surprise: " a tiny kiss".
A lovely poem, Vaughn.
Thank you
Dana-Maria: Thank you.
