ReplyDeleteStrange, that death,s salt tears
Were not enough to drown, all
this world of sorrow.
this is based on the Book thief by Markus Zusak & the one below had to about one of the four masters of Haiku Matsuo Basho.

Solitary man
With brush stone and ink, followed
The seasons travail.
So much fun!!
