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 Summer Retreat 2016 (24) a jack stone
Dear friends,
Here is my submission for Carpe Diem's Summer Retreat 2016. The Summer Retreat is a period of 30 days in which the goal is to create one haiku a day themed "one with nature". So here is my haiku for today ... and I hope it reflects the theme "one with nature".
a jack stone
sharpened by the brook
a masterpiece of art
