Carpe Diem Special #29, Onitsura's 'voice of the pine-tree'

 inspirational haiku

suzukaze ya koku ni michite matsu no koe

the cool breeze
fills the empty vault of heaven
with the voice of the pine-tree

(c) Onitsura (1660-1738)

 ~o~o~o~

my humble inspirations

~ 1 ~

a cardinal sings
to find the singer look high
in the tallest tree

~ 2 ~

the pine tree whispers
and the spring breeze responds
do you understand

~ 3 ~

without the breeze
pine tree's sacred wisdom
would stay a secret

~ 4 ~

soft spring breezes
sing with a pine needle scent
music for the soul

~ 5 ~

when the old man speaks
all the pine trees listen
the breeze overhears

~ 6 ~

under a pine tree
safe from the whispering wind
moose and goose tell all

~ 7 ~

from the pine tree top
spider sees her hatchlings go
sail on the spring breeze

~o~o~o~
