Carpe Diem today is to write a haiku inspired by Kikaku’s haiku:
such a beautiful face
the pheasant scratches it
with jagged spurs
The jagged spurs inspired me:

Wow…this went right into my heart…like an aching thud. Such an emotional haiku at least to me.
That scar tissue can ache when the deep memories come to the surface!
Bravo!
wow – yes a visual to feast upon
This is beautiful … deep.
Ah. Perfection. You’ve touched on it well here. Perfection is not only found in youth and symmetry. It’s in everything.
Oh, really beautiful, touching. Nice one, Bjorn.
This is sensational in the best sense of the word.
Excellent take on the prompt…such inspiration.
Peace

The scars of a lifetime in the face of grandmother … I like this take on kikaku’s
