    I see and feel this haiku.

    I'm not into two-line haiku, but this poet hit it. The last line is simply golden, revealing the rippling sun upon the mud. I love this image so much. The poet didn't even have to use the words "water," "ocean," "wave," or any other word that would have taken away from the sun revealing itself upon the ripples, ascending and descending upon the mud.

    Beautiful.

    You're right. That is really beautiful. I've never explored 2 line haiku. This poem makes me want to look into it.
