Not so very long ago I was on a holiday in Spain. Went to walk and ran into an nice old church. I didn't make a photograph, but now after such a long time I wrote a haiku about an Old Church.
in the old church
the scent of incense
I hear the prayers
the sound of church bells
moves toward my home
through the Spring haze
Sincerely,
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 !!!.
