in the Bamboo
in front of the little cottage
a sparrow sings
the cool breeze
stroking the lovely face
of Buddha's child
the small garden
on the tiny balcony
also Spring

A Few New Haiku, (2)
Sometimes inspiration comes along when reading a book. These new haiku are inspired by reading Blyth's Haiku Vol. II, Spring (The Hokuseido Press - Tokio).

Sincerely,
in the Bamboo
in front of the little cottage
a sparrow sings
the cool breeze
stroking the lovely face
of Buddha's child
the small garden
on the tiny balcony

I like the first haiku a lot.
love this.
:)
Anything bamboo draws me deeper
Bamboo was the theme of one of my first haiku (in dutch):
bamboe ruist
brengt de geest in vervoering
fluistert geheimen
In English:
bamboo rustles
brings my mind to ecstasy
whispers secrets
It was the 'title-haiku' of my first haiku collection which was published (by myself) in 1998. With this haiku collection I won my first literature prize of my career.
So bamboo is a theme about which I love to write haiku (or other poems).
very beautiful,
love the bamboo imagery.
Absolutely loved it....the balcony of Spring imagery!
Thanks for your nice words. Bamboo is one of my favorites to write haiku about.
