Here: "Tanka - Kite" is the post I wrote for CDHK's Modern Spring, where the Jane Richhold's kigo, kite was introduced for the first time.
L'ora - is a stiff daily wind that comes from the south up over Lake Garda and blows through the Valleys all the way to Trento. It usually begins blowing around noon. Ora means hour, but also now in Italian.

Linked to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai using the kigo .. kite.
When I get my ultra-lite, waterproof, supersonic, solar-powered robo-leg I'd like to try this some day ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun ---
Cool! It does look like fun ... and these guy really make it look easy ... but I don't think it is though.
DeleteLovely cara, the photo brings me good memories...I could never keep standing ...catamaran was my choice of ride...love the photo!!
ReplyDeleteGlad the memories came to you ... I prefer sailing to surfing myself too ... glad you enjoyed the post.
DeleteSuch a perfect last line - "l'ora in Garda" - it's so airy and bright and fits the context so well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Blake .. glad you enjoyed it and loved using the name of our local wind (thought in Italian) to write the ku.
