August Challenge 2

Write in any Japanese poetry genre on: 'home'. Any aspect of home: from teatowels to banquets, on seeking a home, childhood home, domestic relationships of any sort, the topic can be interpreted as widely as you like.

    leaving my Hills home
    I take one last walk and feel
    shells in my pocket

    childhood home
    memories fading
    with the paint

    cubby house
    me and teddy
    sharing secrets

    childhood home
    the wartime glass
    wrinkles across the moon

April Challenge

In Australia in April we are deepening into autumn. In Adelaide it is still warm weather. The quinces are ripening on the trees, the shops full of the harvest of summer fruits. Autumn foliage is beginning to appear on the exotic European trees we have planted along our streets. Shops are filling with warm clothes for winter. The car race and the Fringe and Adelaide Festivals have finished bringing to an end the rush of Mad March. The blocked traffic is now flowing freely once more, interstate and international visitors have flown away. In Japan the cherry blossom season should have reached Kyoto. Challenge: customs of autumn or flowers of spring. Senryu, haiku, tanka. Please use your imagination.

Interpret as widely as you wish. Haiku Challenge: warmth. Again interpret as widely as you wish. Seasonal or non seasonal are acceptable.
