17 On

Pale sky, golden moon,
purple horizon, blue waves
and a road at dusk

17 on = a haiku.

I cheated with the photo, however there is no greater expression than what we see when we cease to not see.

This is not a haiku.

Basho’s poem OLD POND

17th Century

at the age old pond
a frog leaps into water
a deep resonance

This haiku is a venerated Japanese classic according to my backup memory WIKIPEDIA.

I’m partial to his 1685 offering

another year is gone
a traveler’s shade on my head,
straw sandals at my feet

Pure Math.
