November Challenge 3: Cats and Dogs

Any Japanese genre poetry acceptable. Now is the chance for you and your pets to express those deep feelings and also more shallow observations. This will be fun.

    morning sunshine
    the black dog's shadow

    a cat masquerades
    as a log masquerading
    as a cat.

    two birds caught today
    my dog is a murderess
    but she has great style.

    in the whirlwind
    barking and snapping the air
    the terrier
    he'll save us from it
    see! it's leaving

    Barbie clothes in his feet

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.
