A stone plunges to the bottom...joins others there.
Link with 1048: Thrown stone.
[Over the years it is likely many stones have been throw or skipped into the pond. The stone now in my hand has been basking in the sun for hundreds of years. I now toss it into the lake where it will sink down to a dark, wet place on the bottom. How long will it stay there? How long before it again "sees" the light of day?]
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'.
