In the beach breeze
my travels forgotten
evening cool
Since I'm in the US for work this week, I decided to share a haiku about traveling. I hope you'll find this poem by Kobayashi Issa inspiring: with over twenty thousand poems written in his lifetime, it's hard to find a topic he didn't write about. As always, if you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.
