1. What an awesome haiku and yiou have used the cascading way … great. You have used the prompt in a nice way.

2. could not have been more beautifully written! I am humbled by your talent….

   • I’m blushing. It was a joy to write.

3. Good Day Bjorn, nice to see you again here on Carpe Diem. Thank you for this wonderful cascading haiku. This is really an amazing haiku set … very strong and a nice use of the prompt. This cascading haiku set could have been from a classical haiku master, although they didn’t know this cascading way of writing a haiku set.
   The last haiku is my favorite … thank you for participating in Carpe Diem.

   • Thank you so much for your warm words. I assume that you can merge the cascade into a choka, and then finish of with two lines, and the other way around.

     gathering the tears
     life-giving water roaring
     hurries to the sea
     stay and rest beside the falls
     shed a single tear
     drying memory on face
     precious jewelry
     soaked by river water sit
     ocean waves are calling me
