Today our second haiku by Yosa Buson. Buson
Buson had the honor to illustrate the first paper publication
In an earlier post at CDHK we had haiku about ”melon-flowers”
and the haiku by Buson which I love to share here is also on ”melons”.

adabana wa ame ni utarete uri batake
.
fruitless blossoms
are beaten by the rain
in the melon fields

A beautiful haiku I think …
well I hope it will inspire you to write haiku.
Here is my attempt to write a haiku in the spirit of Buson.

every where I look
the yellow flowers of melons
after a sunny day

www.flickr.com it was raining too hard to
get a photo of the willow tree next to the
church. Sigh. So a stock photo for now.

Little Ones is a new special
from Carpe Diem
where we are challenged to produce
a small Haiku form such as a Pi-ku.
Pi-ku is a haiku form based
on the mathematical number Pi,
it’s value is 3,14
this value is seen
in the three lines:
1st = 3 syllables;
2nd = 1 syllable
and 3rd = 4 syllables.
.

My first Pi-ku:

.
rain’s downpour
.

need canoe NOW
