Challenge: all new haiku in the classical way (5-7-5; cutting-word; season word; deeper meaning; inter-changeable first and third line) inspired on a haiku written by Matsuo Basho about a Hornet's nest
suzumebachino su kara yane doro darake no mizutamari wo kaishi te haru no ame wo shizuku
spring rain,
leaking through the roof,
dripping from the wasps' nest.
© Matsuo Basho (1644-1694)

Ants ... not my favorite insects, but they are more lovely and beautiful as the hornets. Nice to read your haiku on ants and peonies.
ReplyDeleteIf had to choose, definitely ants, except fire ants.
DeleteThose black ants.. for sure a guest of spring.. for me you created a very vivid image
