Dear haijin, visitors and travelers,
Today the second Carpe Diem Special is on. Another haiku of Basho for your inspiration to write a new haiku (or a few haiku) classical or non-classical. Today the following haiku written by Basho:
white poppy
it must have bloomed
from a wintry shower
 |
| White Poppy |
Basho wrote this haiku in the Summer of 1683. In that time he used the Kanshicho-style for writing his haiku. In that style the syllables-count isn't a strict rule. It's the style in which I write my haiku most times. In my opinion the Kanshicho-style is more close to the Western way of writing haiku.
This is one of my haiku inspired on this one by Basho:
sleeping virgin
white as snow -
will once bloom
