As the summer rain sets in when the weather forecast was ‘sunny with the occasional shower’ I turn to the beauty once more of my illustrated book of Japanese Haiku. They never fail to uplift and restore my balance of mind.
summer rain –
it drums on the heads
of the carp
Shiki
strong are the youngsters
even on a day when onions
rot on the beach
Kaneko Tōta
Very best wishes for a day in the sunshine of your mind – Denny Bradbury
