in no hurry
the bead of water
on the swan's neck

Reminds me of a chinese movie where the actor patiently sat collectly dew droplets from leaves in the early morning to brew a pot of tea.

Methinks three of these comments are spam

Dear Gilbert,

That sounds as if it's a film I'd enjoy. :)


Dear MarshalnN,

Yes - I've recently been inundated by spam...

This haiku came from a simple image as I took Xiaohu to his nursery. We always stop at the top of the bridge over the university parks to look at the ducks, geese, and swans. We were in a hurry that day, but the bead of water on the swan's neck was not...

Gorgeous photo and haiku, sir.

Very kind - thanks, Centranthus. The image came from my garden, many weeks later - it is melted snow that remains on the leaf.
