My response to Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu #88 Back In Time “Revise That Haiku”
Chèvrefeuille has challenged us to ‘revise’ the following classical haiku written by Shiki (1867-1902), based on asymmetry in nature, and write a new one:
Daibutsu no katahada no yuki toki ni keri
the snow has melted
on one shoulder
of the Great Buddha

the tallest willow
throws its wide shadow on one
side of the garden
