October meeting Ginko

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.

    rose bloom
    ignores the symmetry
    of the garden
    inviting me to smile
    at its disobedience

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.

July Challenge

As I post there have been no entries for the June Challenge. This is a sad state of affairs. Maybe it has been too cold and wet for haiku and tanka poets to get about, use their hearts and intellect. As I look out the window the weather seems in a state of uncertainty, waiting for something to occur: rain, wind, sun? Tanka challenge: change, uncertainty, the unexplicable. Interpret as widely as you wish. Haiku Challenge: warmth. Again interpret as widely as you wish. Seasonal or non seasonal are acceptable.
