I will not disturb you in your dreaming,
It would be a pity to disturb your rest;
You shall not hear my footsteps
Softly, softly shut the door!
On my way out I'll write
"Good Night" on the gate,
So that you may see
That I have thought of you.

Winter journey by Franz Peter Schubert (1797-1828)

A very melancholy image and at the same time beautiful. Terrific magnification in that drop. V

Love your haiku. It has all the melancholy that pervades so many classical Japanese poems. And your image fits perfectly. Very nicely done, Karen. VV
