in classical haiku Tags: autumn, branch, crow, flies
Chevrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai offers us a beautiful haiku by renowned Japanese poet Matsuo Basho to “photoshop” (tweak) a little. Here’s my attempt:
kare eda ni karasu no tomarikeri aki no kure
on a bare branch
a crow has stopped
autumn dusk
© Basho (Tr. Stephen Wolfe)
bare tree branch sways with
dark crow’s weighty silhouette
autumn flies away

Linking to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai with this tanka…
sip book and iced tea
late summer sumac turns red
cooling off…on porch
sinking into old stuffed couch
before school begins again

Link to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai where host, Chevrefeuille, invites us to “improve” on a classic haiku; re-write and make it look better (like a photo-shopped image).
autumn has come
visiting my ear on
a pillow of wind

autumn rustles in
whispering wind tickles ears
fluffs leafy pillow
