evening clouds
evening clouds
This is a distillation of a poem from The Tale of Genji,
used as a haiku prompt at Kristjaan Panneman's Carpe Diem blog.
These poems are works in progress and may be updated without notice. Nevertheless copyright applies to all writings here and all photos (which are either my own or used with permission). Thank you for your comments. I read and appreciate them all, and reply here to specific points that seem to need it — or as I have the leisure. Otherwise I reciprocate by reading and commenting on your blog posts as much as possible.
