Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
I love to share a new Carpe Diem Imagination episode with you all. Today I have a wonderful photo of the Wisteria, a beautiful climbing plant with deep blueish and purpleish flowers.
Wisteria
(also spelled Wistaria or Wysteria) is a genus of flowering plants in the pea
family, Fabaceae, that includes ten species of woody climbing vines native to
the Eastern United States and to China, Korea, and Japan. Some species are
popular ornamental plants, especially in China and Japan. An aquatic flowering
plant with the common name wisteria or 'water wisteria' is in fact Hygrophila
difformis, in the family Acanthaceae.

Issa, one the four greatest haiku masters, wrote the next haiku on Wisteria:
haru no hi
no iri-tokoro nari fuji no hana
the setting
place
for the spring sun...
wisteria blossoms
for the spring sun...
wisteria blossoms
Have fun, be inspired. Let the photo be your inspiration source for your haiku for Carpe Diem Imagination. This episode of CP's Imagination will stay on 'til April 11th 11.59 AM (CET).
Happy having made it shortly before my travel to Japan. I like wisteria.

ReplyDeleteI haven't done haiku's in quite a while. Thank you. I love the idea of "a setting place for the spring sun"... yes, that is so true.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you here Margaret. I visited your weblog and I was really surprised. What a wonderful weblog you have. Haiku writing (or composing) is a great way of poetry, so if you like to write haiku ... well visit Carpe Diem again and share your haiku with us.
