of dahlia, sordid sorrow
This traditional form of Japanese poetry is just three lines long, with 17 syllables arranged in a 5 – 7 – 5 format. The philosophy of the haiku is to capture a specific moment in time, followed by a realisation or feeling that’s expressed in the final line. Traditionally, the haiku[1] deals with themes of nature, time and the seasons, although this has widened somewhat with modern haikus. This 17th-century Haiku from Matsuo Bashō (“the Master of Haiku”) has a fresh and contemporary feel. - BBCMaestro
The early summer rain.
Gathering it and fast
Mogami River.
The observation of the rain becomes the reflection about the cycle of water, and how these drops feed the fast-flowing Mogami River
Freshly picked flowers
With a gentle aroma
All swaying softly

Happy birds chirping
The warm sun beams gently down
Peaceful and serene

Gentle rain falling
The rain becomes heavier
This is common, here

Quietly on the green grass
The sun helps his health
