HAIKU
I could write – But didn’t
in shade of spring
we stop and get lost in kissing
a slur of life
I could write … ‘a slur of love’ … but I found that more limited … it’s not necessary with love … in every situation … sometimes it’s just enough to be able to enjoy life …
I have to reflect about this more …
But I know … I can enjoy life as well as love … being in love … or …. without being in love … making love is also enjoying life …
Or?
Tonight off for a Spanish night ….

Interesting history about Shiki, I think, when reading. I get curious and search more haiku by him. I must say I find them a bit difficult to like and he will probably not be a favorite of mine. But the haiku I choose above – I think goes well with his history – being radical and not allowed to give public speech. I think he felt a cool and hostile society then.
saw the country
and returned—now deep at night
I lie in bed and
fields of mustard flowers
bloom before my eyes
I myself had a wonderful day today – meeting friendly people and feeling spring – also love – in the air. I walked along the Danube passed a young couple …
she giggled
swaying her head ‘n hair backwards – and
he kissed her
… I smiled and felt happy for them – went on my walk. After passing two bridges I sat down. Studied the Japanese – or Chinese – turists modeling with Chain Bridge and Buda castle in background. A young handsome man did beautiful moves – Qigong – while his girlfriend filmed him with iPhone. I enjoyed and felt such nice harmony.
I laid back and closed my eyes … poetry popped up …
I’m sitting
by the river Danube
feeling the wind
dancing in my face
and playing with my hair
*
whirls of water
coming from down under
to hit the water surface
just to play with
the sun rays
*
people passing by
know nothing, nothing at all – about
wind and water playing
… this very minute … a moment I liked so much. I got a crazy idea. Why not film and record! So I did. But when listening I thought … how sad and sleepy I sound … that’s not me. Think it was because I didn’t want anyone to hear what I was doing.
Would you like to listen to it? Perhaps I can get enough guts to publish 😉
If you want – I will publish here … it’s on the way to Youtube just now …. ready … scroll down … 😉
So here it is … (I think I have to ask my granddaughter about advice for recording) …

Answer.
Falling & Rising
Yosa Buson one of ”the big five” (Basho, Issa, Buson, Chiyo-Ni and Shiki) – was born in Kema Settsu, where several waterfalls can be seen.

Waterfalls are beautiful – also poetic, dramatic and a fresh nature phenomena. But – there always is a but – I wouldn’t live close to one. Just think – never a quiet moment! No I prefer visiting waterfalls and enjoy them – get inspired. Now thinking about the beautiful Brudslöjan – The Bridal Veil – between Sweden and Norway. I visited it once skiing – it was all frozen at that time.
like a veil
hiding the shy flower – water

Just came home after an evening with Scottish contemporary dancers. Some days ago I enjoyed dancers from Netherlands. So I am in a good mood. Swaying on my cloud-look-alike surfing board on every named waterfall this minute on Internet. So beware – I will visit yours!

like surfing pirates – with swords
glistering falling
The first Scottish performance today was extraordinary! Also funny. The audience – and of course I – was so amused. First part they performed as if they were the instruments in an orchestra playing classic music. Adorable! And the funny part about birds seducing each other in a human-look-alike flamboyant way. I took that scen with me home smiling all the way.

I didn’t meet ”my” favorite choreographer this night. Imagine he is too busy with the premier to soon take place which he told me about last time. He looked really tired then. I’m looking forward that performance in a few days. But – there always is a but – before that I have other events to attend. My schedule is fully booked.
I don’t know why I choose this opposite-kind-of-water-fall …. rising water …
I only use my own photos here and … so sorry …. I don’t find any falling water only rising. Here is a really strong one:
