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 Winter Retreat 2016 "find the silence" #3 old temple
Dear friends,
Here is my third haiku for the Winter Retreat of Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. A period of 30 days in which I will (try to) write a haiku or tanka every day themed "find the silence". If you like to participate in this Winter Retreat than visit: Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

The above haiku isn't a recent one it is part of a haibun I wrote inspired on Basho's "Narrow Road Into The Deep North". That haibun was titled "My Narrow Road". Tomorrow I will be back again with another haiku or tanka for the Winter Retreat.
See you ...

Carpe Diem Winter Retreat 2016 "find the silence" #2 incense
Dear friends,
The day before yesterday I started the Winter Retreat at my other weblog Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, a period of 30 days writing a haiku (or tanka) every day, themed "find the silence". In my haiku (and recently tanka) silence is a theme I love to use so this Winter Retreat must be easy for me, but 30 days creating a haiku or tanka on silence every day will also be a challenge to me.

Carpe Diem Winter Retreat 2016 "find the silence" 1 deep silence
Dear friends,
It has been a while, but my other weblog Carpe Diem Haiku Kai takes to much time to publish more often here at my personal weblog.
Yesterday I started the first Carpe Diem Winter Retreat, a period of 30 days in which the goal is to write a haiku or tanka every day themed "find the silence".
Here is my first haiku for this Winter Retreat:
deep silence
only the sound of rain
on my window

See you ...
