My response to Carpe Diem Special #214 Mandarin Duck by Buson
For this CD Special Chèvrefeuille has asked us to write a haiku with the same sense, tone and spirit as the following by Yosa Buson:
mandarin duck –
rain falls silently
from an oak
© Yosa Buson (1716-1783)
faithful yin and yang –
below the peaceful surface
swift webbed feet paddle

Sorry, Janice but that wasn’t mine – that was by Buson – mine is the one below the image.
