never before and never again . . . cloud?s shadow
—Bill Waters
Issue 14.1 | 23 April 2014
Dear Bill, Wonderful to read your haiku today! Ellen
This is lovely.
Thank you, Ellen and Jean! :- )
Bill I really appreciate the sabi quality of this poem.
Ah, life is so fleeting! And yet…
In a haiku as fine as this one, we can preserve a "shadow" of it!

The fact that it is the shadow rather than the cloud that is being described makes this striking. Although the shadow of that exact cloud will never reappear, the cloud itself might! :)
