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 ... sunny day
I had to write a few new haiku on our prompt for today 'yellow'. I have already read wonderfully composed posts ... so I have to come up with a few good ones (smiles).
one sunny day
my black thoughts
turning yellow
sunflower field
reaches 'till the horizon
what a joyful sight
'look up there grandpa'
my grandson points to the sky -
yellow dragon kite
Well ... I hope you liked it.
Wonderful haiku Kristjan :-) Brought me much needed sunshine.
