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 !!!.

SENSATIONAL HAIKU WEDNESDAY
This weeks prompt is "excel" (in dutch: overtreffen of uitmunten) I will give it a try, but I think it's going to be a tough one.
I agree - this week's prompt was very difficult for me as well ... I like what you accomplished with it ... sparrows are such sweet little birds!!
