My response to Carpe Diem #1268 shuntoo (spring lantern)
Today we have a classical kigo for spring, ‘shuntoo’ or spring lantern, to inspire us. Chèvrefeuille tells us that spring lanterns are not made of stone, like Japanese garden lanterns, but rice-paper.

Am a great fan of movement and sound in a haiku, and feel really makes them come alive, as superbly done here.
