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.
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.
Any Japanese poetry genre: haiku, senryu, tanka etc. 1. I nspiration through nature, looking forward to spring, and witnessing the early signs of spring 2. Sport (plenty of inspiration with the Olympic games on at the moment)
There will only be two challenges for February. A multiple range of topics is given in this challenge. home, origin, history, memories of past times, our lifestyle, our lives now, our lives in the future. Work in any Japanese genre poetry is acceptable.
