how different
the sound of this strange river
calling our names
***
late night
the sleepy hills
still telling us stories

the first really resonated with me…rivers can have such different sounds…from calm to rapids, from normal flow to flood…nicely done!

Beautiful, both of these. I love the river that calls your name and then the sleepy hills that continue telling stories. They have a mythological feel to them.

Wonderful. I would rather listen to the voice of water than the voice of a human … especially deep into the night. What lulling magic.

Both excellent haiku, but the first one resonates most with me. Here in the NW, our Native American myths include a lot of meaning attached to hearing your name on the beaks of owls, the wind, or any moving water.
