morning glory! the well bucket-entangled, I ask for water

A haiku by Fukuda Chiyo-ni (1703-1765); she was a Japanese poet who became renowned throughout Japan for her haiku poetry.

Meet Mazu, the ancient Asian Goddess: “Queen of heaven”, “Holy heavenly mother”, “Granny Mazu”. Sound familiar? She was the patron goddess of multiple Taoist temples, and spawned the Edo haiku poetess Fukada Chiyo-ni. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5FRDSCl4aX/?igshid=a56zr4zldbdp
