Kanshicho

Carpe Diem: Ghost Writter 34  
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

    1. 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.

  3. I especially enjoyed the third haiku, a perfect combination of the elements of poet (haiku), frivolity (twitter) and pride. Nicely done ;)
