Ultreya!
One night, long ago, I looked up at the night sky from the vantage point of rural vermont. A veritable sea of stars illuminated the dark. Every Northern Hemisphere constellation in season seemed to appear in radiant glory. I have never forgotten it.
So this week, we turn our attention to the traditional, early autumn kigo of the Milky Way (amanogawa). The literal translation of amanogawa is “river of heaven.” Think of a rural view of the stars of our home galaxy flowing across the abyss, and you can understand why.
Write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that alludes to or references the Milky Way (amanogawa).
As always:
Hereโs how the challenge works:
1. write the haikai poem of your choice.
2. post the link of your post to Mister Linky.
3. pingback by posting the link to the challenge on your site.
4. read and comment on other contributorsโ posts.
May the stars shine brightly for you. And for those affected by Hurricane Florence, know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Keep it Stellar, haijin!
