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 !!!.

Dear friends,
The Summer Retreat is almost over still three days. It was a wonderful experiment and I have enjoyed launching it and to participate in it.
young leaves
whisper in the evening breeze

See you tomorrow.
If only the shooting star would linger a while...
