My SoundCloud universe expands through participation in the Naviar Haiku Project, which prompts members to compose a piece based on the theme of a weekly provided Haiku. The group not only attracts composers and music enthusiasts, looking for creative inspiration, but also haiku enthusiasts. One enthusiast, Chèvrefeuille, introduced me to the site he hosts called:
The special feature titled “Use that quote“, offers the goal of writing haiku based on a famous quote, which runs in a similar vein to the goal of the Naviar Haiku Project. One particular quote of interest is by Leonardo Da Vinci:
“Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?”
So…here is my first attempt ever at Haiku:

Good Day Stull, what a surprise to see you here at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. And I am again surprised by your first attempt to write a haiku … really an awesome attempt … very strong one. I am a bit speechless. Thank you Stull for sharing. By the way Chèvrefeuille is my (Kristjaan Panneman) pseudonym under which I write my haiku. Hope to see you here again.
Thank you Chèvrefeuille,
I find Haiku liberating. I wish I had found your post, Carpe Diem Goes Back to It’s Roots #5, prior to my attempt. Perhaps, after further study, I could also incorporate kireji and other instruments of the classic form. We will see each other again, I’m sure. Thanks for being such a gracious host.
Sincerely,
Ray
You’re welcome Ray, Haiku is a great way to liberate your thoughts … and it’s a great poetry form.
