winter solitude –
in a world of one color
the sound of wind © Matsuo Basho (1644-1694)
winter solitude –
single skater on the lake
inscribing circles

in a world of one color
inky crows compose
haiku in the sky

the sound of wind
resonates in icicles
nature’s Christmas bells

My response to Carpe Diem Weekend-Meditation #12 Christmas Troiku
In a new weekend meditation, Chèvrefeuille challenges us to create Troiku. He has given us a few haiku to use for the Troiku: a classical haiku, a haiku by Jane Reichhold and one of his own, with the theme of Christmas (wintertime) and says we may use them all or just one or two. I chose the classical haiku by Basho.
A wonderful troiku Kim ! The third haiku is my favourite. I wish you a Merry Christmas !
