Forsaken Village [Haiku]
underwater:
fish swim through submerged huts --
forsaken village.

Yielding [Tanka]
beneath cypress trees
stands a small pagoda;
top tier damaged
by storm-dropped limbs;
it won't outlast those trees.

PROMPT: Longest Book
I’m not sure. I’ve read a few north of 1,000 pages. 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand leap to mind. I don’t read too many very long books as I generally find they are badly in need of editing. [That is certainly the case for Atlas Shrugged.] And, you know, they take a long time to read.
The fattest book on my physical bookshelf at the moment is Stephen Wolfram’s A New Kind of Science, but I’m pretty sure I never got through that one.

through the treetops,
a city is revealed;
its din, still silent.

only empty lily pads

a thrush hops out
of the base of a bush;
surprised as I.
