Onward!
It’s still winter in the northern hemisphere. Two weeks ago, a deep chill engulfed New York’s backyard. My son and I foolishly walked late in the day to nearby Five Islands Park—along Long Island Sound—and experienced a dose of bonechilling winter wind.
Anyone else experienced that? I’m sure that the winterlanders among you have! Hence, this week’s kigo: withering wind (kogarashi).
This week, write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, tanka, kyoka, haibun, haiga, renga, etc.) that alludes to withering wind (kogarashi).
As always:
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 contributors’ posts.
Stay warm, haijin!
