Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
What a joy it was to read Kuheli's Ghost Writer (GW) post about Chiyo-Ni and what a gorgeous haiku I have read in response on her post. Great to see and read that you did enjoyed the GW-post. Thank you Kuheli for giving so much joy and inspiration.
Today we going back to our regular prompts of June. This month all our prompts are based on Jane Reichhold's ''A Dictionary of Haiku'', a modern Saijiki (list of kigo, seasonwords). As we go on with the discovery of these modern summer kigo we are now at our next prompt Creek.

I have sought a while for another example for creek and I found one:
my guest
departs ...
the waters in the creek
louder and clearer
the waters in the creek
louder and clearer
I had some trouble with composing a haiku myself on ''creek'', but after a while a finally had the ''Aha-Erlebnis'' ... here is my attempt:
hidden in the forest
I ran into an old creek -
Ah! that sweet sound
falling in love
while sitting on the bank of the creek -
the sound of water

Ah! that sweet sound
falling in love
while sitting on the bank of the creek -
the sound of water

Masterful haiku, Kristjaan... Serenity and excitement, melted together in a few lines - I really enjoyed the mood created there.
ReplyDeleteI love the sights and sounds around a creek. so much life
ReplyDeleteThis post was really hard to read. The photograph is lovely but makes the letters really difficult to find
Beautifully done, Kristjaan.
ReplyDeleteSweet sound indeed!
ReplyDeleteYour second haiku.. I love that one.. really fills me with a serene feeling of joy.
ReplyDeleteLoved your haiku - few things are more exciting than unexpectedly finding a creek in the woods! :)
ReplyDeleteYour first haiku reminds me of the creek that is sort of hidden beside the hotel here...
