Signs written in snow

Calligrapher sharpens her brush

Run Dharma painter!

  1. Hmmm, guess it sorta falls within the guidelines. 5-7-5, seventeen in total. Basho would probably approve, you're implying the season of the year.
    Kawabata, ca 1920's:

    A drop of dew

    an ant recedes from it

    staggering




    In glimmer of moon

    scars of deep snow

    cannot be hidden

    Cheers,
    Mike
