Leaf 129 – Reflections
.jpg)
This haiga poem captures a scene which I saw in the narrow lane behind where we live during the rainy season here in Tokyo. Immediately after I took this photo from our balcony, I looked down and saw two strangers walking along the lane. They both stopped and stood side-by-side. In unison, they each took a photo of the rainbow with their smartphones, while trying not to get wet in the rain. Just for a moment, they’d come together and were joined. After about five minutes more, the rainbows had faded and looking again, so too, the passers-by were gone as well.
Two strangers,
tilting umbrellas
– taking in a rainbow.
