ps. did i Mele Kalikimaka e Hau’oli Makahiki Hou! you, Melissa? i know your interest in language and this is such a fun phrase to say. okay and wish on you too. (Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!)
Thanks, Wrick! Yeah, all those Polynesian languages are so wonderfully musical, I wonder what haiku would be like in them. 🙂
S rozhdestvom i s noviym godom to you (Russian, in my own eccentric transliteration …).
aloha Melissa – yeah, the Hawaiian language is definitely song worthy – altho, i’m not. bwahahahaha. other than to myself may be…
yeah – i agree… the sound of rain for me is a beautiful sound – like music. altho there is something to be said about the music of our own being too. if we can like that, i think we end up appreciating a lot of other music in the world too.
This makes me realize how remiss I have been in not letting you know that “Issa’s Untidy Hut” is one of my favorite places on the Interwebs and I jump for joy whenever you have a new post. Almost literally. Especially “Issa’s Sunday Service,” which might as well have been created specifically with my taste in mind. (Music! Literature! Poetry! Issa! I mean, if there were only a little chocolate in there I could probably live on it for several weeks.) Anyway … Fantastic work, thanks for doing it and please keep it up.

bwahahahahahahaaha. …as i return to my pages from the vivid image of your crows.
why is it that in comparing things each becomes stronger unto itself? – your story AND the crows.
damp night air

I wrote a whole bunch of ku similar to this one last night … maybe someday I will put them all together.
rain
I like my music
better
Except that kind of seems unfair to rain. It has its own sound, it shouldn’t feel like it has to compete with music …

Melissa,
I Forgot His Name a Long Time Ago from the Gean Tree —
Extremely good. You are both old and wise beyond your years and young in spite of your years. I like it.
Sully
Thanks, Sully. I’m glad you liked it. I wish I felt both wiser and younger :), but I’ll take what I can get.
I dig this one Melissa, hearing the Crows translated, would be interesting 😉
All the best,
Peace,
Laz
Thanks, Laz. 🙂
Excellent, Melissa. Don
Thanks so much, Don.
