sleeping in open
under the blanket of night
a beggar in rags
~
star from the heavens
life of a small child begging
a single round coin
sleeping in open
under the blanket of night
a beggar in rags
~
star from the heavens
life of a small child begging
a single round coin
under the sea
school of colorful fishes
image of a rainbow

* For Carpe Diem Special # 53. Above is the inspired creation by Kikaku’s following haiku:
above the sea
a rainbow, erased by
a flock of swallows
scars of suffering
the curious pheasant looks
hidden reality
~
hidden reality
dark wings melted in wax-ink
jagged tarnished skin spurs
*For Carpe Diem Special #51; inspired writing from the following haiku by Kikaku:
such a beautiful face
the pheasant scratches it
with jagged spurs
in fancy facades
chest heaving with every breath
tradition ensues
.
*For Carpe Diem Special #50; Inspired by Kikaku’s following haiku:
kagura dance at night
the performer’s breath white
inside his mask
