Haiku - Japanese Temple. Will you cc?

A successful example of Haiku for many reasons.

An underlying nod to Nature

with a rarely composed oriental theme.

A refined, atmospheric touch with the moss

covered steps tends to invite the reader to

imagine the surrounding landscape of gardens

and water features.

Contrapuntal in the juxtaposition of ancient

stone with bright metal objects. This is an intriguing touch

.

I can imagine bamboo wind chimes and easy flowing water

over smooth stone.

A long answer for just 12 words, which illuminates well

the importance of deciding on the correct words, the links

that create a single chain.

It's the suggestive and objective aspects

that compel this reader to say

"Bravo" to you.

A winning combination of elements

in creating a memorable, excellent Haiku, Carey.

Carey Ball

You are one of the better Haiku poets I see here on YAP

You set up the premise in line one with good imagery and

carried it hom on the next two lines. Very well done.

Were this translated to Japanese, would it be ok?

It is the closest thing that English poetry can come to actual Haiku, you are well aware of the art and the culture

A tapestry in the true spirit of Haiku.

A walk to peace and tranquility - I felt it Carey. Thank you, a great haiku.

Makes me feel very refinedly at om.
