This week’s Crossroads Challenge from Carpe Diem asks us to bring together two haiku, one by Arakida Moritake (1473-1549) and the other by Jane Reichhold (1937-2016). First, my new haiku:
high tide stroll with you
beside my bedroom window
spring winds roar in the trees

Arakida Moritake (Tr. Steven D. Carter):
A fallen blossom
returning to the bough, I thought —
But no, a butterfly.

Jane Reichhold:
morning breeze
coming in the window
surf sounds
