!! Open for your submissions next Sunday April 21st at 7:00 PM (CEST) !!
Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
It's weekend again ... so time for a new weekend meditation, our special CDHK feature for the weekend to meditate and contemplate about a theme. This weekend I have chosen for a new episode of our Poetry Archive feature. This feature is about your archive. Choose a haiku, tanka or other form of Japanese poetry from your archive and share it with us all. Tell us why you have chosen for that poem from your archive and create a new poem inspired on your choice. This time I have another wonderful theme ... loneliness or emptiness ...
In an earlier post this month I told you all that I needed a week off. That week is now upcoming. I will not post new episodes this week, but of course I will give you a new weekend meditation at the end of this "free off-week". It gives me time to relax and it will give you the chance to relax too and inhale new energy.
Okay ... back to our weekend meditation ... Poetry Archive ... Loneliness or Emptiness ...
Here is a haiku from my archive(s) themed "loneliness" and one themed "emptiness":
in front of the fireplace
an empty bottle and broken wine glasses
after the quarrel
an empty bowl
but in it is the spirit of emptiness -
the spring breeze

Both haiku were responses on earlier posts here at CDHK. I like them both, but that second one I see as one of my masterpieces. It's a deep religious, spiritual, experience ... inspired on a "koan".

And here is a new one created from both of the haiku above, say a "fusion-ku":
smoldering fireplace
the sweet perfume of burned herbs
loneliness grabs my throat

Have a wonderful weekend and a great week.
This weekend meditation is open for your submissions next Sunday April 21st at 7:00 PM (CEST) and will remain open until April 28th at noon (CEST). Have an awesome weekend!
