behind daisies
promise of a blue sky
in the hare’s eye
when you trust the silence
of mist among mountains

Well done you on capturing a photo of a hare so close up! Beautiful poem, it really captures that Japanese feel of oneness with nature and the seasons and all creatures great and small.

Nice sense of enigma. Daisies are just opening up now where I live and skies are blue 🙂

Thank you for your kind words Janice and lovely to hear your skies are blue! We drove through the mist and rain and found blue skies on the other side of the glen, just like the hare promised ;o) xxx

Fantastic photo of the hare, Xenia. I’d love to see one so close. And lovely landscapes too. You’ve combined them beautifully in the verse ❤ Happy rest of the day 🙂 Love from us to you xxx

Thank you for your kind words Cathy, the hare was only a few feet away and carried on munching the grass after I had taken the photo :o) Happy rest of the day to you too and much love to you all ;o) xxx

Gorgeous photography, Xenia , and an amazing daisy-filled tanka! There is also a range of ‘eyes’: the daisies (ox-eye). the hare’s eye, and the eye of heaven (sky), all watching over the mountains. But it’s the trust that’s most important!

Thank you for your kind words Laurie 💜 It is a hare rather than a rabbit (hares have much bigger ears) and in Celtic folklore they are often seen as a guide to the Other World ☺💖 xxx
