There
sliding across a
mirror of water the prow
slices sea from sky

I don't think I could bear to leave.
Welcome back, MB!
Mary, it was hard to leave. It's exquisite country! But I am fortunate to have much to return to. Thanks.
Welcome back, even if it looks like it was enthralling!
beautiful - poem and pic. lucky you if this where you were. welcome back.
Brenda, it is good to be back, even while it was!
La vie... thank you. I did, oh I did.
rdl, yes, this is where I was. That's the front of my kayak! I am indeed fortunate.

Wonderful, MB! So glad to see this beautiful photograph. Where is this gorgeous place? Perfect haiku. :)
Wow. You were missed.
YOW!
*sigh*
Wish I were THERE.
(But some days I suppose I wish I were HERE.)
Fine haiku, a nice way to start the day.
Dale, thank you.
Sky, this is Desolation Sound, east of Vancouver Island. Not that far from you, really, you know...
Jean, so were you, you know.
Lori, I often wish I could be in two places at once. Thanks.
I'm glad you are back. Lovely haiku, beautiful territory.
WONDERFUL!! happy to have you back - but know how hard it must be to leave there!
Robin Andrea, thanks. It is strikingly beautiful territory.
Anne, thanks for your welcome!
Today I swam into the depths of a very cold river...I could see clearly 30 feet below.
The water you were paddling over looks cold and opaque.
Stunning picture and poem.
Wow, this is so beautiful. And to be kayaking in it - wow!!
Chuck, it sounds like you had a marvelous day on the river — good for you! The water I was on was surprisingly warm. Out over the deepest parts it was opaque, being sea. But towards shore it was actually quite clear. The starfish photo above is an example of that.
Leslee, being in a kayak puts one so low into the water that one's perspective really changes. I'm sure my experience of this was different than had I been in a boat or even a canoe! Almost down to the waterline.
It's magically appropriate that this haiku has 17 comments... Oops!
Richard, your mischief is showing!
photo and words: absolutely breathtaking!
it seems your vacation has opened up a new vein in the motherlode.
is it enough to say "thank you"?
i think not, but i'm at a loss.
