    Hi Lynne, it's been a pleasure writing the prose writes for your literary project - thanks for letting me know about it and thanks for sharing this poem, short but as with a lot of good poems, it leaves an impression that'll probably now stay with me for a while.

And the theme of water was more intimately introduced to the delegation of assembled haiku poets after dinner on Monday and Tuesday evenings with candle-lit ‘ginko’ in hand-made and man powered, long-oared, wooden boats. With blankets over our knees and notebooks in hand we were steered silently along the dark water, under low stone bridges, with the lights and stepped gable roofs of the city above us. someone singing from an open window the boat drifts Lynne Rees ...
