908. Atlantic Bound

frozen river...
water in a narrow crack
gurgles past

[Yippee...it was a year a go that I posted the first haiku to this blog. :-) ]

Link with 907: Crack

[The water of our North Saskatchewan flows under the ice on the river all winter long making its way across the prairies and eventually to the Atlantic ocean via the Hudson's Bay.

This was inspired by Seishi Yamaguchi's:

spring stream -
i walked along then stopped,
it kept flowing]

one whole year! :) This one is a good one -- had you been writing haiku before you started the blog?

Thank you all for your congratulations. It has been a pleasure exchanging comments and poems with you all this past 12 months.

Pamela: Thanks mucho!

Floots: Thanks, we have much in common (and I'm sure much in uncommon). :-)

Pat: Thanks. I've enjoyed hanging with you too...maybe our books will some day see the light of day (can't stop water).
