Carpe Diem #153, Haru ta (Spring paddy fields)

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Another nice day in haiku paradise Carpe Diem. Today we share haiku on Haru ta (Spring paddy fields), let us look somewhat closer to this kigo for late-spring.
Haru  ta rice paddies in spring.
This refers to rice paddies in the spring, before the seedlings have been planted. Over the surface of some paddies, "vetch" will be blooming, and others will be roughly plowed. Later, as paddies are prepared for plowing, the ridges repaired between them, the paddies raked, and so on, the paddies become busy with farm workers. As wet paddies, they will shine brilliantly. But when one speaks of "spring paddies" there are hardly any people out there; everywhere feelings of loneliness and silence remain.

Look at those greenish paddy fields. So nice and quiet. It must be a joy to walk through these Spring Paddy Fields and feeling the loneliness and silence ... a Zen Buddhistic experience I think.

remaining silent
in awe walking through the paddy -
feeling lost and alone

feeling lost and alone
overwhelming experience -
Spring paddy fields

Spring paddy fields
everywhere you look a green sea -
remaining silent

I am afraid that this cascade isn't really a good one, but the feeling in it is so strong and makes me silent and humble in awe of the beauty of Mother Nature.

I hope you enjoyed the read and I hope that it will help you to write your own haiku on Haru ta (Spring paddy fields). Have fun, feel free and share your haiku with us.
