birdsong

Carpe Diem Special (3rd guest) Herman van Rompuy's 3rd "birds in concert"

               ----------- inspirational post excerpts -----------

spring has come;
a nameless hill
is shrouded in thin mist

© Matsuo Basho (Tr. Blyth)

In this haiku by Basho we read the mystery ... and the "word-painting" in this one is really awesome. "a nameless hill shrouded in mist" sure ... you can see only a faint image of the hill, but as the mist has gone than maybe we know the name of the hill.

birds in concert
one sings above all others
I don't know its name

© Herman van Rompuy (taken from: Haiku, by him)

at sunrise
sunrays on my naked body
birds singing

---------------  response ----------------

mate is wooed
a song and dance
which to choose?
