Oxfords Schleusen/ Oxford's Locks/ Las Presas De Oxford

Oxfords alteSchleusen
Das Gurgeln des Wassers am Abend
Sonst nur noch Stille

------------------------------------------

Old locks of Oxford
Gurgling of water at sundown
Otherwise only silence

------------------------------------------

Presas antiguas de Oxford
El gorgoteo del agua en la noche 
Por lo demás sólo silencio

Beautiful image, Gert. I like the way the sounds of the water stop at sundown. There is always peace to be found in the night. The second line sounds even more lovely in German. Thank you for this delightful haiku! Love, Carolyn

They say the water that's silence always runs deep. I like the essence of knowledge embedded in this haiku. The unraveling of which would be enlightening to many. Great job! Joseph

Hi Gert, I am going to try to start commenting again. I have just been too weepy these past three months…commenting became difficult. I do enjoy reading your wonderful poetry, though. (Love the many languages!) Thanks for understanding. God be with you and keep up the excellent writing. Lovingly, Dane Ann
