Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Yes ... another episode of our wonderful Kai, because I was late with our Monday episode, "snowdrops".
Today I love to challenge you two times. I love to challenge you to create a "fusion-ku" with two given haiku and to create a Troiku with your new "fusion-ku". I have chosen two haiku by Jane Reichhold extracted from her online Saijiki "A Dictionary of Haiku", section New Year.
Here are the two haiku to work with:
a new year
rising from wild seas
a few stars
filling
the glass with candlelight
champagne

Two beautiful haiku by the Queen of Haiku (and Tanka), Jane Reichhold. She was once my co-host and taught me a lot about all kinds of Japanese poetry ... I miss her still.
This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until February 3rd at noon (CET). Have fun!
February 3rd crept up on me!
