Photoshopping Buson’s Camellia

blushing bud unfurls
in the glass polisher’s hand
a camellia

Kim M. Russell, 29^th September 2019

In this new weekend meditation, we have an episode of ‘Photo-shopping Haiku’ and a haiku by Buson (1716-1784):

tama-suri-no zayu ni hiraku tsubaki kana

Unfolding at the
hand of the glass polisher:
a camellia!

Yosa Buson

Kind of interesting how just one word can bring a different vision to the haiku.

  That’s the beauty of micro poetry.
