Oh,thank you HA-this was very tough for me,I almost gave up specially ‘cos I had already gone through all the magnificent submissions,so glad it seems relevant:-)
Atreyee … I do understand that it is sometimes difficult to compose haiku if you’ve read all entrees. Maybe … just a tip … maybe write your haiku before reading the other entrees. It will make you happier and I do believe that it is better to do so. Of course I have the advantage that I have always the opportunity to write as the very first a haiku on the prompt. I use by the way very often inspiration from the haiku written by the classic haiku poets.
Back to this haiku you have written in respons on Straw bundles … it is a beauty and I am glad to read that you’ve given it a try … because if you hadn’t we all would have missed your wonderfully composed haiku. Well done … thank you for the effort to write and share your haiku with us all here at CD.
Oh,you are so encouraging and supportive Ktristjaan,I can never thank you enough:-)To be honest,I usually do not read first but as I was falling so behind in my reading/commenting,that this time I thought of reversing the process-ah!So glad it struck the right chord:-)Now going to try my hand at some chrysanthemums 😀
A very unique take… even more so since you read all the other entries.. I never read any other before making my own (often not Krstjaan’s either).. it’s fun to see other haijin having the same idea.
Ha!ha!Usually I do not but this time I was trying to catch up on all the posts and comments,as I was falling woefully behind 😛 Glad you like it Bjorn-coming from such a prolific writer like you,I take that as a huge compliment:-)
