This blog is about haiku. A classical haiku counts 5-7-5 syllables. Chèvrefeuille (the pseudonym of Kristjaan Panneman, a Dutch haiku poet) however writes his haiku in the Kanshicho-style. In the Kanshicho-style the classical syllable count isn't used. Matsuo Basho (1644-1694), a haiku poet, wrote his haiku in Kanshicho-style for several years, but he returned to the classical way of haiku writing. !!! Anonymous comments will be seen as SPAM !!!.

Like a phoenix
the old oak in the backyard
is blooming again
Dutch translation:
gelijk een Fenix
ontluikt de oude eik opnieuw
in mijn achtertuin
Haiku heights is een erg leuke (engelstalige) haikublog waar op dit moment een 'uitdaging' plaats vindt om 30 dagen lang, elke dag een haiku te schrijven met een onderwerp dat gegeven wordt.
Deze haiku is mijn eerste bijdrage aan de Haiku Heights Challenge.

Very neat and much beauty!! Love the photo too!!
Because I can read German, I can pronounce enough of the Dutch to feel the lovely taste of the haiku on my tongue!
Can you see a phoenix here or here?
I agree with Nanka :) Very beautiful both words and image!
Welcome to Haiku Heights! Feel free to write for any prompt that tickles your inspiration! :D
After our severe drought - I am hoping my trees feel the same way when spring arrives in March!! Lovely!
Yeah dead good!
Hello dear friends, thank you all for your nice words. I must say the Haiku Heights Challenge is surely a challenge, but I love it.
I like the comparison of the oak to the phoenix, and the photo is wonderful
