I wanted to let you know that your link at Mr. Linky wouldn't work for me and I couldn't get to you by clicking on your name from your commet at my post either. I finally tried googling you and that's how I got here. Another cyber mystery.
The Cloud Messenger (Meghadūta) is a lyric poem by the respected Indian poet, Kālidāsa. The poem centers around a yaksa in exile. Longing for his beloved, waiting for him on a Himalayan mountain, he asks a cloud to take a message to her. The sights he tells the cloud it will see on its way make up most of the poem.
The idea of recording observations appeals to me. I thought The Cloud Messenger was the perfect title for a blog about the journey that we all make as we move through our days.
I'm a baby boomer who grew up dancing in the streets of Detroit during the classic Motown years, lived beside the Rocky Mountains for many years, now retired and living (and writing full time) in S. Ontario. I have one blog for rock 'n' roll oldies, and one for nature, poetry and life along the Lake.

This is a lovely haiku and photo.
Thank you for your comments, and also for making me aware of the goof (typo) in my URL! I just went back Mr. Linky and re-entered my name.
This is just perfect. Really it is.
:o)
perfect!really wonderful
I agree with Raven. Your poem is "very Zen", and speaks to me. Very beautiful poem and picture!
Use of the word "into" has so much more impact than the conventional "at". Very nice.

Not only poetic, but phiosophical.
Memoriable.
Thank you.
Our faces are found everywhere. I have always been fascinated with water as a mirror. Nicely done.
Still waters run deep and are often unfathomable. Lovely.
This is good...
weed it out
Thanks, Deborah! I sure do like that. Thank God for deep water.
This brought a smile to my face.
Thanks.
I would agree that this is about as complete as it can be. I love the simplicity and the depth, which seem to be: Two faces of the same poem....
Oh, yes...the words and photo are lovely!
Finally got this to open, using the link on the reply mail. Now I see the other one is fixed!
I am to the age when my reflection looks better a little bit rippled. Good poem.
lovely!
thanks, Karen
beautiful...
Great response to the prompt. It sent me off to my record collection to listen to Joe Walsh - "The Confessor".
Deep thoughts in that deep water. I participate in OSI also. Well done and Welcome!
The photo expresses you haiku just wonderfully!
