I like to sit here in the summer months, Particularly on a sunny morning, when the bright light is spottled and tempered by the natural canopy of trees and native bush. Just watching the clean water flow. Ferns, trees, tuis. Vines and creepers.
And under the bridge
Perhaps a taniwha sleeps
Do not venture in.
I went there this morning. The inspiration to use haibun-style came from reading At the Foothills
Grumpy Axolotl 
“…bright light is spottled and tempered by the natural canopy of trees and native bush”… Gosh, beautiful description. Lovely Haibun, my dear friend! Love it!
Thankyou. I don’t think spottled is a “real” word, but it was the only one that felt right. 🙂
Oh, who cares about it being a “real” word. It sounds wonderful and it’s all that matters 😀
Brilliant. Had to look up ‘taniwah’ and spottled is perfect.
