Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille January 20th 2016 “revise” that haiku
umi ikete tsuki to mo wabin tomoshikage
arranging the plum-flowers,
I would enjoy them in the light of the lamp,
as if in the moonlight
© Taigi (1709-1771 ?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
left over daisies
gathered from the market place
I light a candle for sun
~~~
arranging dried flowers
shadows cast by moonlight dance
swaying like summer fields
~~~
one cold plum
not much to share
this winter evening
