Dear friends of MLMM,
Welcome at a new Heeding Haiku With … episode. Last week I challenged you to write a haiku inspired on “one with nature” so this week it is haibun time again.
This week I thought … “let me take it easy”, because I am a very busy guy, but also loyal to the promises I made. One of those promises is to create an Heeding Haiku With … episode every week.
But … how can I take it easy? Well … that’s easy I challenge you to create a haibun with a maximum of 250 words (including the haiku or tanka) inspired on the following image:
Snail (photo found here) – a Dutch website sorry
I once created a haiga with this photo, but I have never done a haibun about a snail. So I have to try it myself too.
But maybe … I can inspire you by sharing a “double tanka”:
watching a snail
in the light of the full moon
just a silver trail
points me to the right place
mountain monastery
mountain monastery
finally becoming one
I bow to my master
Matsuo Basho told me the way
to watch a snail

Have fun!
