My response to Carpe Diem Writing and Enjoying Haiku #3 classical haiku
In this week’s ‘weekend meditation’, Chèvrefeuille has brought us an episode ‘Writing and Enjoying Haiku’, inspired by Jane Reichhold’s book.
In the last episode, we had to create haiku without rules; this time, he challenges us to create haiku following the most basic rules of haiku. We may choose our own theme, but we must include a kigo seasonword) and a kireji (cutting-word or punctuation). The haiku must have 5-7-5 syllables (onji) and a nature theme, as well as a spiritual, Zen-Buddhistic layer / meaning. The first and third line must be interchangeable and no first-person perspective – we may not use ‘I’, because in haiku the poet isn’t visible.

Yes, it is. Shakespeare knew what he was doing when he came up with it.
