this is a contribution to the haiku challenge of naviar records #581:

plunging my hand
into the lake...
billowing clouds

-Kobayashi Issa -

touching the water (naviarhaiku581)

Found instant inspiration in the haiku that goes as follows:


here and there
upon scorched fields
wild violets

Arii Shokyu-Ni was a haiku poetess during the Edo period who began a wandering life after running away from her husband at 29 with the haiku poet Kohaku. Just like Matsuo Basho, "the Nun Shokyu" traveled to the Deep North of Japan.

fog dissolves to rain
- cool breezes clear the vista,
showing cloud-topped hills
