Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

What a joy to bring our first CD-Special of this month. As you all (maybe) know the winner of our first kukai "wisteria", Rallentanda, won the opportunity to be our featured haiku poetess this month. And as you can see at the left "A Carpet of Purple" the e-book Rallentanda won for an anthology of her own haiku is available now for download.

For this first CD-Special I have chosen to inspire you all with Rallentanda's winning haiku. As you (maybe) know the goal of the CD-Specials is to write an all new haiku in the same sense, tone and spirit as the one given.

wisteria
fragrant chandeliers drop
a carpet of purple

It's a real beauty and you, my dear Haijin, visitors and travelers, have chosen this haiku as our first kukai winner ....

Here is my inspired haiku, not a new one, but one from the archives:

in the moonlight
Wisteria flowers look fragile -
a gust of wind

By the way .... remember that our second kukai "summertime" is running. You can submit your haiku (max three) until June 15th to our emailaddress:

I am looking forward to your "summertime" haiku ...
