Carpe Diem Special #216 Patircia Donegan's "lean into the wind"

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Today, during circumstances, I have made it myself easy. I think you all expected an Utabukuro episode, and that's true, but because of circumstances I will not publish an Utabukuro episode. Sorry.

Today I have a nice CD Special for you with a few haiku created by a renown haiku poet, Patricia Donegan (she edited a special anthology about female haiku poets, but she is also a great haiku poetess), maybe you know her.

Patricia Donegan

These two haiku are created by her and were published in "Haiku Studio":

As rain drops diminish

I hear the tapping

of the monk's wooden bell.

Tonight

the cypress tree & I

lean into the wind.

PS. As always I give credit to the haiku poet/ess,, but I couldn't retrieve an email-address to ask Patricia's permission. I hope she is okay with it.

The goal of the CD-Special is to create an all new haiku trying to catch the same feeling, tone and spirit as the given haiku. Here is my attempt:

the sound of a bell
from a far away place
echoes through the valley
