A selection haiku
bamboo chimes
stir in a sudden breeze ~
Dragonwings!

morning cloud cover
filters sunlight into grey ~
even birds are still...

wild geese flying south ~
shadows that cross the moonlight
cross the water, too.

fireflies light
evening's final hours ~
morning takes its time.



(In Memory of Emperor Hirohito)

outside the palace
in sea of umbrellas ~
one hatless mourner.

Hi BEKI - what a very lovely collection of haiku - I see you've written some very traditional ones, especially the piece in memoriam - That's one of my favorites of the collection! Very somber tone - holds a bit of irony within - A nice piece of writing, I tend to wonder if the "one hatless mourner" is in fact HiroHito himself watching as a spirit?

At anyrate - nice of your to share your writings with us - I'm looking forward to more of your writings.

Jacquii.

ps - ALSO welcome to the Community - I see you snuck a welcome thread in
Gonna go right now....

thanks
thanks for your comments - I rarely write traditional 5-7-5 haiku anymore, these are some of my earliest published ones. The one for Hirohito actually was inspired by a newspaper photo the day he died - it showed a crowd of mourners outside the palace in the pouring rain and there in the middle of the crowd was one bareheaded man...I saw it and thought immediately "now THAT is a haiku moment!" and wrote the poem. It has been published in a few small press literary magazines tho it was years ago.

These are so beautiful...as haikus have that special quality...

morning cloud cover
filters sunlight into grey ~
even birds are still...

I love the "hush moment" that this one induces at the reading of the end...it sort of stops you and forces you to reflect....

The think is that the haiku (5-7-5) is more of an "English" traditional, whereas the Japanese haiku is based more on the sound of the words rather than the syllable count. I actually wrote an essay about the distinct differences - somewhere in the annals of JPiC LOL - I posted a similar "definitive" on JPiC Affiliate Poetry-Defined - Haiku - Forms ---- I actually hope more people will recognize that the haiku is more than 5-7-5 syllable count and dwelve deeper in to the "meaning" and knowledge espoused within...

At anyrate - You have a really wonderful collection there - I appreciate you sharing it with us

Jacquii.
