For Carpe Diem Haiku Kai:
"It's my pleasure to publish an all new episode of our special feature "Sparkling Stars" in which I introduce haiku, masterpieces, by classic and non-classic haiku-poets. The goal is to compose a new haiku inspired on the given haiku, similar with our regular CD-Specials, but with the classical haiku-rules:For this episode I have chosen a haiku by Kiitau, a not so well-known haiku-poet, who has written just one haiku as far as I know.
- 5-7-5 syllables
- a kigo (seasonword)
- a kireji (cuttingword or punctuation)
- a moment as short as the sound of a pebble thrown into water
- a deeper, spiritual, meaning
- the first and third line are interchangeable
botan saite atari ni hana no naki gotoshi
when the peonies bloomed,
it seemed as though there were
no flowers around them

peonies blossom
along the temple pathway -
eclipsing others

ReplyDeleteMerci ma Cher! I wish I had acess to a garden like that every day! How peaceful, glad you enjoyed it too with me.
DeleteBeautiful, Georgia! They do make all others fade into the background don't they? That's a wonderful photo too.
ReplyDeleteYes they do and Kristjaan chose a beautiful photo! Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteOops! I just realized this is our host's peony flower. My bad!
ReplyDeleteNot bad at all ... I really enjoyed his photo so decided to use it :-)
DeleteSo beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting how I read that different ants prefer different peonies and that the flower doesn't really need the insect - but they just help the process.
ReplyDeleteWhen asked to write a piece that should mirror, I show the reflection :)
