soaking wet signpost
I try to read while trudging
through wet pampas grass
soaking wet signpost
water running in my eyes
watercolor rain
I try to read while trudging
always try to do too much
must learn to focus
through wet pampas grass
the signpost just up ahead
slips further away
Santoka Taneda & Cie
Notes:
The assignment today was to take two Haiku by Santoka Taneda (3 December 1882 – 11 October 1940) and turn them into a single Haiku, then turn that Haiku into a Troiku.
Here are the two original Haiku:
soaking wet
I can’t read the letters
on the signpost
walking through
the bush clover, the pampas grass,
walking on through them

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
