What a red moon!
And whose is it, children? - Issa
Ladybugs resemble cute little Volkswagens,
But can feel much more - Kido Listenbee, February 2020
All along this road
Not a single soul - only autumn evening - Basho
Cutting tall grasses and digging weeds
Until the ditch is full of ditch - Doja Tenjin Williams, January 2020
Trusting the Buddha, good and bad,
I bid farewell to the departing year. - Issa
Pine, bamboo and plum
thrive in harshest winter; I strive to learn from them.
- Anne Steel, January 2020
Parting fog on wind barren meadows
Birth of a lamb. - Jane Reichhold
Howling coyotes!
And still our little kitty wants to go outside. - Kido Listenbee, - January, 2020
SKY HAIKU GUIDELINES
· Submit two haiku per
month - no more.
o
Email
them to Kido kido@flestates.net
§ The first one should be
one of your favorites by a classic poet;
§ the second one - which
is optional - is your own original work.
o
No
titles nor contextual material will be posted: the poem must speak for
itself.
o
Each
pair of poems will stay up for the month of its submission and the following
month.
NOTES:
· All these requirements
help us practice a kind of zen discipline of economy and restraint, and help us
to appreciate the wisdom of impermanence.
· If you submit more than
one original per month, Kido will post the first one she reads.
o
She
wants to be a conduit, not a curator.
Please
visit www.oxford-soto-zen.org several days after submission to see yours and
others' postings.
