a poem in my pocket

Chèvre at CDHK challenges us to create a haiku through “fusion” of the following:

rabbit-ear iris

how much it looks like

its image in water

© Basho (Tr. Jane Reichhold)

And…

a silk tree

even through the leaves weary

of starlight

© Basho (Tr. Jane Reichhold)

My “fusion: of the two:

rabbit-ear iris

bends weary leaves toward water

silk reflects starlight
