1. Lovely pictures–the woodblock and your poems.

   • Thank you, it’s so inspiring to combine the two.

2. Silk seduction would be hard to resist, wouldn’t it? 🙂

   Silk and Sky

   • I guess so, therefore the geisha had to.

3. Lovely, hope you don’t mind that I posted a link to this Haiku on my blog. Let me know if you want me to remove it. It inspired me to try my own Carpe Diem Haiku so thanks 🙂

   • Not at all, but hope you tie back to Kristjaan’s blog not mine. 🙂

4. The woodblocks and print visuals are definitely your trademark…1st one just stunning..2nd more controversial..!

   • I love woodblock prints, and also thanks. From the Geisha’s point of view the second one is hardly controversial.

     • Yes – with you – meant in a good way, as it ‘pushes the envelope’ a bit..

     • 🙂

5. Love the alliteration of “s” and “w” sounds which creates a soft romance in these thoughts! Lovely!

   • I know alliterations are a little controversial in haiku and usually try to avoid them but in this case I just couldn’t. I have tried to write a little alliterative verse, it gives a very nice effect actually.

6. Lovely take on ‘silk’ … I have read several ‘silk-haiku’ with sensuality in it. Another common consciousness … very nice to see and read that in someway all contributors of Carpe Diem are connected.

   • The word invites to sensuality, I really like that,

7. Beautiful prints and magnificent haiku ~

8. You always bring the woodblock to life so vividly. These are wonderfully written. Thank you 🙂

   • Thank you so much. I have started to live woodblock prints.

9. hmmm silk seduction and playing hard to get… i like it ^^

   • Playing or your duty.. I think the geisha had to do it that way. At least originally.

10. Strong imagery with those delicious undertones of sensuality…

    • Thank you, silk certainly invites to that. 🙂

11. like petals of flowers… wow… quite an image..

    • Thank you 😉

12. Loved the reference to geisha 🙂

13. Your artistic choices suggest you have the soul of a haiga-poet! Have you tried making art to accompany your words? Lots of happy faces today. I am so 20th C. No idea how to emot -with -a -con!!!

14. your lovely words were like the whisper of silk against the skin….
