Haiku Bindii

Sat 1 October: ginko at 11 am in Veale Gardens at the corner of South Terrace and King William Rd.  Meet at the Wisteria  (that purple vine with scented flowers) Loggia about 150 metres from King William Rd corner. We plan to hold our haiku walk (ginko) from around 11.15 to noon and then have a picnic lunch while we share, discuss, invite helpful comment on our writings. If it is raining too much we will need to adjourn to the Box Factory meeting place. The forecast is for clearing showers and 18 ° C, so hopefully by the time we start it will be sunny. All welcome to participate, including visitors.

We had 'breakfast' in Challenge 2 for September. Now for a 'banquet'. Any Japanese genre poetry acceptable.

This is a challenge for traditional haiku for the season 'spring'. You can use appropriate words other than 'spring' to denote the season. Consider using Australian references (plants, birds, activities etc). See below references to some indigenous seasonal patterns for Australia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_Australian_seasons http://www.bom.gov.au/iwk/climate_culture/Indig_seasons.shtml http://www.abc.net.au/science/features/indigenous/

 Use your imagination to give us a new perspective on the first meal of the day - breakfast. haiku, senryu and tanka.

Birds: any kind. Any Japanese genre (haiku, senryu, tanka, haibun etc). We look forward to reading your postings.
