Today in Carpe Diem the challenge is to write haiku based on the inspiration haiku from Onitsura
the wild cherry:
stones also are singing their songs
in the valley stream
And today I think it’s time to use Van Gogh’s Cherry Blossoms to illustrate my inspired haiku.
cherry blossoms
dances joyfully released
in the mountain stream

giggling brook:
stones are playing games
with cherry bloom

wow! great pic and wonderful lines
Thank you 🙂 Interesting to know that Van Gogh was inspired by the Japanese paintings when he made this, but he used his own oil technique.
its really wonderful
All delightful, but the giggling brook gave me the broadest smile : )

I like the idea of the stream, of love, carrying that memory. Nice.

Wow! Bjorn these haiku are really wonderful. I like the painting by Van Gogh and how that has inspired you to write your haiku for today’s Special by Onitsura. Chapeau, a real masterpiece.
