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 !!!.

A Single Leaf, an Impromptu verse
I have written an Impromptu verse ... I saw a single leaf dancing through the streets. It's was a very stormy day today so the last leaves are blown away by that strong wind. But this one single leaf touched me. And I wrote the following haiku on that event:
one single leaf
dances on the shoulder of the wind -
prima ballerina
Isn't it a wonderful little gem? This haiku feels just good and strong. What do you think about this one?
Namaste,

A Few New Haiku
The days are becoming shorter. Autmn is moving to it's closure, the air is further cooling down and the winds are becoming stronger and colder. Autumn is THE season for me. I love the colouring of the leaves and the branches becoming 'naked'. The scent of the decomposing nature is sweet and sour, but always the loving smell of the earth. After the rainstorms the Earth is smelling stronger and stronger. Autumn ... the haiku season.
the scent of earth
decomposing leaves
the rain storms
through the branches
without leaves left on them
naked nature
bare branches
spooky lines and profiles
in the moonlight
nature changes
the fresh summer colours
fading away
Sincerely,
the scent of earth
decomposing leaves
the rain storms
through the branches
without leaves left on them
naked nature
bare branches
spooky lines and profiles
in the moonlight
nature changes
the fresh summer colours
fading away
