Water Age Haiku

Water Age Haiku

Smooth rounded rocks hold
In deep water, age slows, forms
Birds follow ripples

Good morning Casarah, Thank you so much. I originally had flocks of orange birds skimming the surface, tumbling waterfalls and a golden piercing sun reaching deep into the water exposing ancient green moss boulders but this will have to do. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Take care. Earl
