This meets the contest requirements beautifully with a correct line and syllable count. Your imagery is vivid and inspiring and the satori a lovely juxtaposition to the concept of laziness. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you for sharing it.

I enjoyed reading your haiku-it follows the 5-7-5 three lines format. it's focused on a brief moment in time, evokes colorful images and it is written in present tense.

good luck on the contest!

'Measures' is an interesting choice of word for that second line as the previously lazy river sees the necessity for change in the form of the narrow canyon. The result, of course, is the frenetic race to the sea.

Good luck in the contest.
