feet deep in dew,

Author Notes
Zen Buddhism has significantly shaped the historical development of Japanese haiku. Many haiku master poets were Zen Buddhists. The satori concept is based on zen enlightenment.
This haiku is modern haiku because I use alliteration.
MODERN HAIKU is the English adaptation of Classic Haiku. It's written in one to four lines with no strict syllable count, but as brief as possible. Images don't need to be taken from nature but often do. Seasonality is optional but often does. Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Haiku never rhymes. The em-dash ( -- ) emphasizes an interruption in speech before the satori. The Haiku Foundation of America
Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
