Kristjaan Challenge: To write a haiku from a given quote
"Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower." -- Hans Christian Andersen

1918

After a few days rain. I sweep the path of leaves, and gifts of debris - twigs the birds leave as signposts of their presence. Early morning sun is warming and inviting to those with a passion for another day. Surely it may rain for tis the season of The Rain, but then again maybe all day long the sun will smile her broadest and sweetest, hottest.

Written for the prompt at Carpe Diem My Favorite Haiku by ... #2 Chiyo-Ni's Morning Glory


asano eikou yoku baketto entanguru watashiha mizuwo motomeru

morning glory!
the well bucket-entangled,
I ask for water
© Chiyo-Ni

This haiku is a beauty because of Chiyo-Ni's feeling towards the Morning Glory which entangled the well bucket. She sees the beauty of the Morning Glory and she doesn't want to ruin it. So she turns to one of our neighbors and asks for water.

Here is my response on this beauty by Chiyo-Ni:

Morning Glories
have overgrown the wooden fence
I take the back one
