A hokku by Banko:
Suzushisa yo ushi no o wo furu kawa no naka
Cool (!) cow ‘s tail wo wag river ‘s in
(Summer)
How cool!
The cows in the river
Swishing their tails.
It is unfortunate that in our modern and increasingly urbanized society, fewer and fewer will see such rural scenes.

HOKKU 
David I was born & raised in a northern Illinois farm town when cows were milked twice each day by hand – and we have in recent decades traveled in several countries where we have seen herds of cattle in creeks and shallow rivers. The answer to the question “How Cool” is … very cool! Thanks for sending.

I occasionally see cattle on the river bank but it is rare nowadays!
A perfect hokku for a scorching late summer day! Thanks, David.
I feel cooler just sitting here with the cows, listening to the water plashed by tails.. in my mind.
