| 街灯を逃れる影と闇夜かな kaitou wo nogareru kage to yamiyo kana shunning the streetlamp- my shadows and the deep night. the silent sentinel, guarding my way home in the late night. chinese ink painting and calligraphy for one of the haiku in the set of february 2008. |
| this is my favorite set of haiku so far, the snapshots captured in these short verses are characteristically me as a haijin. |
| a mad, mad project of drawing an entire deck of 52 KARUTA cards out of the haiku written by 26 different haijin in the summer haikuwrimo of 2007. |
Haikuwrimo - Summer 2008In a tradition started way back in May of 2006 (Spring), the next Haikuwrimo is upon us! The first one of these held, had Spring as a theme, the second one that was held last Fall, had of course, Fall as a theme, so this year’s theme and kigo (or season word) will be Summer and the start is only week away!
This event has grown over and above any expectations I could have had. Originally it was intended as an exercise for us haiku-writers as a follow up to Nanpowrimo, or National Poetry Writing month, but this event has swelled into something much more than just an exercise. So many wonderful haiku have been written because of this event
