Autumn

in the tall grass

the start of feathery plumes –

new sign of autumn

Fall of Night

the fall of night
bestows upon me well earned
moments of quiet

garden awash in moonlight
fireflies waltz through tall grass

With all the rain, this baby is 5ft tall…I may have accendentally fed it in the spring…

Wind & Grace

tall grass sways gently
in autumn wind with such grace –
kneels under first snow

now part of a new landscape
holds onto new hopes for spring

Tall Grass

tall grass tossed about
by strong winds on the tail of
storm clouds

Inspiration:

[…] “Haiku is the poetry of nature and nature is always in motion. Seasons come and go, the moon changes every 28 days and so on, the only thing which is steady and without clear motion is our sun, that big star of our Milky Way around which the planets are rotating.” […]Chèvrefeuille, your host

Here is an example of what I call an “undou” haiku:

old pond
frog jumps in
sound of water

Evening Sun

evening sun
sinks behind tall grass
twilight creeps in

This month on Carpe Diem Haiku we are exploring haiku writing techniques used by Basho. Our host writes:

“….In this haiku Basho uses the so called “sketch”or “shasei” technique….The poetic principle is “to depict the thing just as it is”. There are some inspirations for haiku that are best said as simply as possible. …it should never be the only method employed in a haiku….”

With the sketch technique you’re creating
“… a haiku depicting the thing just as it is…”

early autumn

how glorious
young green leaves
