Ergo, the Ogre

Stain

Today at the MindLoveMisery’s Menagerie Blog, it’s Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille. Our task is to revise this Haiku by Basho:

In these drops of dew
 Let me wash as a trial
The dust of this world.

Morning dewdrops heal,

cleanse this human-stained planet

time and time again.

    Perfect Earth Day salutation.
    Earth Day should be … every day. :)

    Very beautifully carved Haiku. Yes we need regular checks on ourselves.
