A lovely image — and very satisfying on more than one level as well.
Always a sucker for dusk/twilight poems.

Enjoyed your lovely twilight poem! Thanks for sending us the link to this site. I'm enjoying Kala's fine haiku, also.

a moth follows
the stream
Beautiful Kala
in a hole
through birdsong drips

Excellent haiku, Kala. I see it right up there with Basho's "sound of water" haikai.
