A new challenge? Poets united's Wonder Wednesday, weird ... tea ghost ... Wonderful idea. And of course ... I have to try.
translucent tea cup
hides a deep secret
ghost of tea
geisha's secret life
gathering tea leaves
for her lover
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 !!!.

Very pretty! Yes, so secretive and filled with sentiment

Very haiku-like...beautiful, secret story.
Ah yes, I am sure the geishas harbored lots of secrets. I enjoyed your poem......and my own wonderings based on your poem.
very nice you tried and what a good job you did, thanks for sharing
BEAUTIFUL. An entire love story, in six short lines. Wow! Well done!
succinct and lovely and I love the picture you used with ... very nice
So well written ... loved the plot !!!
A story hidden in a cup. I love the tale
lovely! from my research, if a geisha had a non-customer lover, she WOULD have to hide him.
wonderful!
It was awesome to write these haiku.
