We have entered the micro-season of “The Mountain Stream Freezes Over”. This is the second micro-season of the mini-season Major Cold. To celebrate this season, we will learn about what it takes for moving water to freeze, and then read haiku by Basho, Issa, and Shiki.

Micro-season aside, I’m finding “The Mountain Stream Freezes Over” very evocative in its own right.

Can you imagine as a traditional haiku student having to learn and employ all the micro-season references?! It’s one thing to have the list, but to know all the natural symbols, truly daunting! Only a lifetime of practice could ensure that skill.
