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 !!!.

Haiku My Heart, Silk
Dear friends on Haiku My Heart,
Today on my daily haiku meme Carpe Diem we share haiku on 'silk'. I love to share here on Haiku My Heart one of my haiku written for today's episode of Carpe Diem.
arousing my senses
the sweet coolness of silk blankets
shared with my love
Mayby it's to sensual, but it was the first thing I thought about when I was preparing the episode on 'silk'.
Namaste,
Chèvrefeuille (a.k.a. Kristjaan Panneman)
Very beautiful. Actually evokes a sense of elegance for me. It has a feeling very much akin to the Song of Solomon.
