Meoto Iwa, or the “Loved one and loved one” Rocks, are a couple of small rocky stacks in the sea off Futami, Mie, Japan. They are joined by a shimenawa (a heavy rope of rice straw) and celebrate the union in marriage of man and woman. At low tide, the rocks are not separated by water.
Chèvrefeuille, at CDHK, offers two haiku for weekend “fusion & troiku” challenge:
between the wedded rocks
the sun rises to her highest throne
summer solstice
mountain stream
the ice has melted – dances in the sun

My “fusion” of Chèvre’s haiku into one which lays foundation for troiku series:
rock solid marriage
mountain streams refresh the sea
sun rises, moon sets

rock solid marriage
united by rope of straw
weighty promises
mountain streams refresh
sea waves break upon the rocks
crystal droplets shine
sunset and moonrise
benediction over earth
until end of time

Such an interesting combination: rock solid marriage united by rope of straw — from what I’ve heard and seen from long-lasting unions, though, it takes a combination of solidity and flexibility. Lovely work.
