The Night of Spring - Kyoshi Takahama

Kristjaan came up with a new Special haiku episode, where Kyoshi Takahama, the haiku-master of May and his haiku are used as inspiration. Kyoshi isn't a well known haiku poet, but he has written wonderful haiku.

Today's haiku by Kyoshi is written at the end of Spring,which he calls 'the night of Spring'. As Kristjaan said, that's a wonderful imagery for the departure of Spring.

I really liked this prompt and felt very happy to write on this theme.

The special haiku:


haru no yo ya tsukue no ue no hiji-makura

the night of Spring -
an elbow-pillow
on the desk

Carpe Diem Special #37
May 17th - The night od Spring

the night of this Spring -
decorating my window
last apple -blossoms

late apple-blossoms
swung by the late-Sping faint beeze -
writing spring haiku

last sight of Spring moon -
the summer morning ballads 
in forest's birds song

NahaiWriMo
May 17th - Quandary or Quietude

the peace in her voice
filling her yard in sping sun -
acacia perfume
