Dawn - November 3, 2014

Lago di Garda - Lake Garda - Italy

fishermen
in the dawning new day
bathed in pink

in the valley

the sun dawns slowly

- silence

on the horizon
first rays of the morning sun -
dawns on  lake Garda

Writing with Buson (5) "a glimpse of dawn" - July 28, 2014

As we're nearing the end of July, we visit the great 5 for the last time at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai.  In this post I'll be writing with Buson:

shira ume ni akuru yo bakari to nari ni keri

the night almost past
through the white plum blossoms
a glimpse of dawn

"Yosa Buson died on December 25th 1783 and the above haiku was, what we call, his Jisei or deathpoem. Even on his deathbed Buson wrote haiku as if he was painting ... what a gorgeous haiku he left behind as his soul travelled to Paradise."

A little cuckoo across a hydrangea(Haiga) by Yosa Buson

first splash of light
the whippoorwills sing softly
peaceful harmony
