my first thoughts –
you had fallen victim to a storm
or old age
then I saw it
you were born this way

Spirit climbs to the sky

There is a new special feature over at Carpe Diem Haiku
In this week’s “Chevrefeuille’s Gift To You To Celebrate Our First Luster Of Carpe Diem Haiku Kai” I have “invented” a new special feature. I have called it “Haiku Puzzler”. The goal is to re-create the scrambled haiku of three haiku poets, but to make it somewhat more difficult, I have used four scrambled haiku.
Below you find an image in which you can find all the lines of these three haiku. To find the three haiku you get three hints:
1. This haiku poet brought haiku into the 20th century by mentioning a modern invention.
2. This haiku is renown all over the globe.
3. At the end of the life of a haiku poet the custom was to write a Jisei (death-poem). This is the jisei of a famous female poet.
To make the “haiku puzzler” complete you have to submit the three found haiku including the name of the haiku poet.
These are my leftover lines of the fourth haiku. Something tells me “gazing at the moon’ does not belong here:) This was so much fun Kristjaan:)
Smoke whirls
After the passage of a train
Having gazed at the moon
