VSANA – June
Happy to share my 2 senryu poems published on the website of VSANA (Viewing Stones of North America). Grateful to dear Thomas Elias, for the acceptance and publication.
The stone for June was the Senshu Pot stone. These stones (Tsubo-ishi) are round or nearly round concretions with a hole suggesting a thick-walled pot. They are found in the Wakayama mountain range overlooking the Osaka Plain. When they are dug from the earth, they are covered with red soil that must be removed with a wire brush.
