Carpe Diem Crossroads #13 presents two wonderful haiku by Matsuo Basho, Japanese haiku poet (1644-1694) which we are to contemplate and then create a new ‘fusion’ haiku. There is a second part of the challenge that I will feature in my Sunday morning post.
BASHŌ’S HAIKU (translated by Jane Reichhold)
chilly coolness
my feet on the wall
for a midday nap

the colour of wind
planted artlessly
in a garden of reeds

MY FUSION HAIKU
a cool summer breeze
scent of an afternoon nap
in a Zen garden

Looking forward to some cool breezes. Might get rain today. The brief rain yesterday didn’t really cool much down. It is humid again.
