The Floating Peach Haiku

Lady Sunshine on Mar 22, 2009

A maiden frolicking on a riverbank observes a peach floating in the river.

The crack of a branch
A splash in the cold river
A lone peach bobbing

    Hi, LS, how are you? I tried posting a comment just a few moments ago, but it didn’t seem to work. The basic comment was: “I like this haiku a lot, you have done well with it. You have captured the essence of a season without even using a season-word. You forgot one requirement though: a contrast of opposites. Look for an article from me soon on the true haiku form and its history and theories. Thanks for sharing.”
