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 !!!.

Carpe Diem, Nightingale
Today we have ... Nightingale ... for prompt. So let's go and write a haiku or two on Nightingale.
in the twilightzone
the song of a nightingale
in my backyard
in my backyard
inbetween the trees and bushes
a nightingale's song
As a nurse I love to share here a haiku about Florence Nightingale.
lady with the lamp
seeking for wounded soldiers
the source of nursing
the source of nursing
daughter of a preacherman
lady with the lamp
See you next time ... when? I don't know ... we will see.

Florence Nightingale was a great lady ... good haiku written dedicated to her !!!
Not a creative day for me at all, but I can hear the bird's song......I too am a nurse, and totally appreciate all the Lady with the Lamp accomplished...
First time I hear of Florence Nightingale, thanks; she spread her light to soldiers.
I have enjoyed the sound from your backyard.
:)
lovely set, the allusion to Florence Nightingale my best.
