over the bridge...
the fisherman`s rod
disturbs the moon
The Haiku Foundation - Haiku Dialogue, (Foreground Focus – Blur the Background, June 2023)
Steliana explains:
The haiku is inspired by a porcelain ornament from my godmother. It is a chinese fisherman with a rod and a little fish, but the rod is broken and the fish is separated from it… it is a very old ornament. All the bookshelves and the way the statue was sitting in front of the books created a fantastic image in my mind, the statue came to life, the books created an imaginary bridge and the broken fish was the moon… It didn't need much… just a spark.
