HaikuWriMo ’17 (Week 2)

A renga tree, with the seed taken from a haiku by Buson:

a camellia falls

spilling out

yesterday's rain

I.

camellia

paints the ground white

like snow

II.

snow's falling gently

outside a home

warm with love

III.

children looked out

at the blizzard

with frowns

IV.

a snowman

stands outside

smiling at passers-by

V.

a woman

shivering from the cold

warms when she sees him

VI.

in its cave

a bear sleeps

through the season

VII.

lashes of closed lids

stop dust motes

from dancing
