    Beautiful. I like the empty waiting, the receptive stance found in your tea cup. It is placed over your work while you take a break or get distracted by a welcomed shower - a if it might be a begging bowl, an open prayer - Fillin with image, sound and many connections.

      marlene this comment is very perceptive to the thoughts it had been written..and I love how you have inscribed your interpretation to it with such poetic reserve...and I would ponder them in use in your own haiku

      I honestly dont know...sometimes they come to me in such a way that even I go wow...lol
      ive written many...but only a few to me are satisfactory...I happen to love this one though
      for you

  • Ooooh, I like the tea, poetry and season all blending their own particular flavors into this poem. Good mix for sure! Good for sipping on while pondering.
