with bubbles she just blew
she floats up up and away
as she watch them rise

At the cool of twilight
In the stillness of my mind
floats that image
A glimpse of us
Transient
Like an echo in the wind
Carried from another time

Try to choose a favorite haiku or tanka and tell us why you do like it and try to write/compose an all new haiku or tanka.
Here is my choice.
Fukuda Chiyo-ni (Kaga no Chiyo) (福田 千代尼; 1703 – 2 October 1775) was a Japanese poet of the Edo period, widely regarded as one of the greatest female haiku poets.
kawa bakari
yami wa nagarete
hotaru kana
the only river
where darkness flows:
fireflies (Chiyo-ni)
Why I like it? The imagery that came to me was that it had to truly be a heavy swarm of fireflies to give the image of a ‘glowing flow’. I looked up ‘swarms of fireflies’. Its a mating ritual. How relatable is that? Putting our best foot forward in the hopes of attracting a mate.
The following haiku was inspired by Chiyo-ni’s haiku
(A rewrite)
dark of night
earthbound stars twinkle –
fireflies

whirlpool in the creek
the colors

how long
before my whispered prayers
reach your heart

how long
before geese fly south
coming of north wind
