a hundred gourds
from the heart
of one vine Chiyo-Ni (1703-1775)
a hundred gourds
cascading sunset colours
shades of autumn
from the heart
of a small vegetable patch
a healthy harvest
of one vine
calabash for everyone
a grateful village

My response to Carpe Diem Weekend-Meditation #2 Troiku: a hundred gourds
This weekend meditation’s challenge is to create Troiku based on a classical haiku by Chiyo-Ni (1703-1775), the first female haiku poet/master and a disciple of the Way of Basho.

I am happy to read this beautiful Troiku Kim and it makes me happy that you have tried this new creative way of writing haiku. Thank you.
