Kaze no Uta (Wind Song)
Posted to Creative Work category
Winds howl down the heights: Snow vanishes, ice bonds fade, Frozen sleepers wake. Chinook frees imprisoned lands, Shaping mud back to the world.
[The classic Japanese poetic form is the tanka: 5 7 5 7 7, not the shorter haiku that was more recently derived from it.]

Hi, I enjoyed reading your haiku. It's always a wonderful experience to read the poems in ancient Japanese form. I too have been practising haiku and tanka and would like friends to visit my blogs:
