winter’s new year’s rose
Mizuhara’s iced beauty
I’ve got cactus — trade?
senryu by M. Nakazato LaFreniere
| 一輪の 霜の薔薇より 年明くる |
A new year begins With the blooming Of a single frosty rose |
Mizuhara Shuoshi (1892-1981)
Heeding Haiku has a weekly challenge using a classical haiku masters’ poem as inspiration for either haiku or haibun. This week Chèvrefeuille gives you a choice of either haiku or haibun inspired by Shuoshi’s winter’s rose haiku.
Vivian at Smell the Coffee has a great post on various poetry prompts sites. It’s a good resource is you’re looking for something to write to.
