My response to Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu #80: Memory Lane: Utabukuro (or poem bag)
The haiku I admire is:
In the basin,
as I wash my face, there rises
autumn’s shadow.
Natsume Soseki (translated by Makoto Ueda, from Modern Japanese Haiku: An Anthology)
I have written my own haiku in the same style but about spring:
On the washing line,
hanging out towels, spring fades
with drifting blossom
