One of the important aspects to Shiki was to remove the religious aspects from haiku writing in favor of every nature and the everyday aspects of life. Here is the poem today that we'll use as inspiration:
inazuma ya mori no sukima ni mizu mo mitari
a flash of lightning;
between the trees of the forest,
water appears
© Masaoka Shiki
And here is my haiku:
sudden piercing flash
illuminating grey skies
mountains tremble
illuminating grey skies
mountains tremble
© G.s.k. '14
