Chèvrefeuille" definition of Kanshicho
Kan -> means: perception, expression
Shi -> means extravagance, pride, poetry
Cho -> means frivolity, number, butterfly
Kanshi -> means Chinese poetry
As I place those meanings together than Kanshicho means:
A poem in the Chinese way that expresses the extravagance and pride of the poet with the frivolity of the flight of a butterfly. And than Kanshicho starts to come to life. It's an expression of something which is seen by the poet, a moment as short as the sound of a pebble thrown in to water, in which he/she sees the extravagant beauty and pride of nature. That extravagance beauty is caught in a three lined verse with the frivolity, (in my opinion frivolity means "not strings attached, free") of the flight of a butterfly.
My attempts:
early morning
high above the trees
crescent moon shines
I got stuck on the word pride and these thoughts came:
new baby
everyone oohs and aahs
ours - most beautiful
haiku

ReplyDeleteEach haiku so different there, enjoyed each. Thank you.
Thanks -- didn't think any one read the medium pages. Tomorrow will be day 20 for view from my window. It is a real challenge to look and have a fresh view every day.
DeleteI especially enjoyed the third haiku, a perfect combination of the elements of poet (haiku), frivolity (twitter) and pride. Nicely done ;)
