Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
What a joy it was to share all those wonderful haiku written by O. Mabson Southard and your responses were awesome. Today the last Southard haiku for this month, I have called it "Southard's Fifth", with a glimpse to Beethoven's Fifth. I think I have a wonderful haiku by Southard to share with you today. So I am looking forward to your responses."

This is in my opinion a real masterpiece, and maybe it's one of Southard's best haiku. It will not be easy to write a new haiku inspired on this masterpiece by Southard in the same sense, tone and spirit. So good luck to you all.

ReplyDeleteI've watched a crane "fish" in a pond and tried to capture that. Not sure I succeeded. But that's what I was going for...in case you don't get it. Little froggy hanging on while water ripples.
