meigetsu no deru ya yurameku hanasusuki
at the full moon's
rising, the silver-plumed
reeds tremble

Thinking of the full moon, and here in the Carpe Diem post, we find that the moon is an autumn kigo, I'm going to attempt to write a haiku in Shiki's style:
shimmering moon light
along the lake front
the willows weep
along the lake front
the willows weep

silver moon rise
over the eastern mountains
enlightened valley
over the eastern mountains
enlightened valley

I loved how Chèvrefeuille took us on a tour of the moon throughout the seasons. It was a perfectly delightful post and I would recommend you click the link on his name in the beginning of my post and visit the Carpe Diem site directly ... it's a wonderful read.
love that first one!
ReplyDeleteWillows are so beautiful ... Thanks Belinda-
DeleteLoving both of them - imagery is wonderful - but the ending of the second is great!!!
ReplyDeleteI liked it too ... well, I liked both actially ... but I liked how I could play on enlightened.
DeleteAn enlightened valley must be a wise valley!
ReplyDeleteAfter Shiki
Or at least one could hope so!
