Ah, poets and their ponds, this morning’s #haiku 

Basho and Thoreau

Sit silently by their ponds 

Beautiful stillness 

Ah, poets and their ponds 

Waking in Kona, the surf singing to me 

​My mind playing Iz*

A song I know

But whose name

Escapes me

Gentle and peaceful

Bringing me rest

And contentment

*If you aren’t familiar with the musician Iz, he was Israel KaÊ»anoÊ»i KamakawiwoÊ»ole. Learn more about him here. He’s long been high in my list of favorite musicians.
