kintaro doll up
held in palms of a young boy
mochi in the mouth
.
riding on the bear
stringing the carp in the air
the dragon breathes fire
* Submission for Carpe Diem # 213 Prompt. It is particularly based on the celebration of Boys’ day In Japan. Since I have no knowledge of the festival, I read through the information available along with the declaration of the challenge and the one available on wikipedia and on the basis of that, I have created these two haiku. I apologize in advance if I have mistaken in understanding the essence of the festival in any way.
