Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Time flies and so we have already our fourth CD-Special by our featured haiku poet Kala Ramesh. It's really a joy to read her haiku and they are all wonderful in my opinion. Today I have chosen a haiku which brought me a haiku in mind by Basho (1644-1694). Why? Because of the theme ... violets.
seek on
high bare trails
sky-reflecting violets...
mountain-top jewels
© Basho (1644-1694)

It's also a nice haiku and it has the same theme as this beauty by Kala:
he finally agrees
to the path I took

Here is my attempt to write a haiku in the spirit of Kala:
the roadside
covered with colorful violets
and horse droppings

Hm .... not a strong haiku, but I like that little twist in it.
This CD-Special is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until April 23th at noon (CET). I will try to publish our new episode, a new Ghost Writer post, later on.
Your haiku may not be strong in your opinion, but it made me giggle on a Monday.
ReplyDeleteThere is that Japanese humour in yours there, Chevrefeuille, as ell as real life, and proof it is a traveller's trail
ReplyDeletelove the juxtaposition of beautiful violets and horse residue! Life! Yin and Yang

I love your humour, Kristjaan, in French it is quite interesting and quite poetic: horse droppings in Quebecois: les pommes de routes (apples of the road) :D
