Writing with Chiyo-Ni (3) - "Morning Glories" July 14, 2014

Into the third week of July we meet up again with Chiyo-Ni one of the 5 haiku master's we're visiting with Carpe Diem Haiku Kai!

One of Chiyo-Ni's favorite subjects was morning glories:

asano eikou yoku baketto entanguru watashiha mizuwo motomeru

morning glory!
the well bucket-entangled,
I ask for water

© Chiyo-Ni

morning glories --
awakened
in the middle of a dream

morning glory -
the truth is
the flower hates people

© Chiyo-Ni

When I was young, my mother planted morning glories near the front doo, and I was fascinated by the way they'd be closed until the first rays of the morning's sun ...

morning glories seek
their master's numinous rays
gently bowing
