the lush green leaves stand proud
waiting
a snowflake’s about to blossom

My response to Carpe Diem Weekend-Meditation #19 Out Of The Box #2 Tau-ku
For this weekend’s meditation, Chèvrefeuille has chosen a feature in which we are challenged to think out of the box of Japanese poetry forms with a Tau-ku. It is similar to the pi-ku, a very short poem in which the mathematical number pi is used: the first line counts three syllables, the second line 1 syllable and the third line 4 syllables. However, the Tau-ku uses the mathematical number tau or 6.28: the first line has six syllables, the second line has two syllables and the third line has eight syllables.

The short second line gives the perfect pause. Spring is on the way…(K)
