This tanka began as a “fusion” haiku inspired by Carpe Diem Haiku Kai…

one paulownia blossom
flutters through sunlight
like an angel, brings message
of creator’s intentions
Note: The paulownia tree, native to China, is also called “empress tree”.

Combination of these two haiku:
a distant mountain
seen in the sunlight:
a desolate field
a leaf of a paulownia tree
has fallen
in the sunlight
