    How delightfully the rapid trill of a kingfisher’s song sets the tone for Friend’s Day. I enjoyed Jorge Alberto’s haiku.

    Jorge Alberto Giallorenzi captures a sense of tranquility and nature’s beauty. The imagery of the kingfisher’s song adds a touch of serenity and evokes a peaceful atmosphere in Argentina. I read his haiku at the Asahi Haikuist Network.

    I think that the song of the kingfisher is a silent voice in summer. A quiet voice perhaps. My friends are quiet too. I like this haiku by Jorge.

    This haiku represents the melody of the kingfisher, and beauty of the song can be imagined by reading the haiku, which shows how the joyful voices resonate harmoniously together. Very beautiful!
