Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Welcome at a new episode of our CDHK feature "Crossroads", the feature in which I challenge you to create a so called "fusion"-haiku from two haiku and to create a Troiku with your "fusion"-haiku. More on Troiku you can find above in the menu.
For this episode I have returned to the beautiful haiku by (my sensei) Matsuo Basho. I have chosen two nice haiku created by him to work with. I have taken these two haiku from Jane Reichhold's "Basho, the complete haiku".

Here are your two haiku to work with:
chilly coolness
my feet on the wall
for a midday nap
the color of wind
planted artlessly
in a garden of reeds
© Matsuo Basho (Tr. Jane Reichhold)
A nice challenge I think.
This "crossroads" episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until July 18th at noon (CEST). Have fun!
Share your "fusion"-haiku and the Troiku you made with it with us all here at our Haiku Kai, the place to be if you like to write and share Japanese poetry.
