Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Welcome at a new episode of CDHK were we are exploring the seasonwords (kigo) for spring. I have given you already a nice selection of classical and modern kigo for spring. Yesterday we had a modern kigo and today I have another nice modern kigo for spring extracted from Jane Reichhold's "A Dictionary of Haiku". I think we have had today's theme, puddles, here earlier at CDHK, but that's no problem I think.
In Jane's saijiki she shares wonderful examples for every kigo so she also did that with this modern kigo. Here are a few examples:
floating clouds
down from the mountain
a puddle of rain
in mud puddles
in a strange sky over
a stranger land
in puddles
the pattern of raindrops
dyes the hills green

| Puddles |
feeling a kid again
jumping in the puddles of spring -
soaked 'til the bone
in the puddle
the fragile beauty of clouds
a broken rose

Two examples from my own archives about puddles. And here is a new one:
your reflection
smiles at me from beneath
driven by clouds

This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until April 18th at noon (CEST). I will try to publish our new weekend meditation later on. For now ... have fun!
Share your haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry form inspired on 'puddles' with us all here at our Haiku Kai, the place to be if you like to create and share Japanese poetry with the world.
