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 !!!.

RAINBOW BRIDGE
The little child sobs 'I want to cross it' - the rainbow bridge
This is one of the haiku which I have written for a new poetry book.
Chevrefeuille,
ReplyDelete__I really like the "rainbow bridge," and I sense a child wondering about -the other side-. [But then, don't we all?]
Sincerly, _m
Congratulations on your poetry award and a nice haiku here. I love the imagination in the child.
