My inspiration for this:
Lighting one candle
with another candle–
spring evening.

My response:
candles light our beach
the waves don’t snuff them
a spring night

“Tell us why that specific haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry form is one of your favorites and try to write an all new haiku inspired on the verse of your choice. This week I have chosen a beauty by Basho. As you all know I am a big fan of Basho, and I see him as my master, and every haiku written by him is my favorite, but there are a few which I like the very most. For this week … one of my favorites by Basho:
morning glories
in the daytime a lock
upon the gate
© Basho (1644-1694)
to become myself
and be inspired
the Honeysuckle
in front of my house
guards the gate”

I chose this one as my favorite for today because of its purity and simplicity! So lovely!
beautiful image!

This is lovely. In my mind I heard, “…the waves ‘won’t’ snuff them…” I don’t know why won’t instead of don’t? Something for the future instead of the present I guess. LOLOLOLOL!
