This week's haiku challenge:

Stretching ahead -
the straight road,
loneliness.

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

Haiku by Santoka Taneda

Submission deadline: 7th August 2024

Stretching ahead (naviarhaiku552)

Recorded, mixed & mastered 02/03 Oct 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

For this, I started with a very casual absently-minded piano piece using  QuNexus, Noire Felt & Bitwig. I pulled a section of this for this Naviar Haiku and another section for this week’s Disquiet Junto. I moved an audio copy of this section to Ableton Live and added a dronish patch I put together in Vital. I added some Chow Tape Model to the piano track. That’s really it. 

This original version of "Trunk, Redeclared" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 561, stars on the pond…

stars on the pond...
again the pitter-pattering
freezing drizzle

by: Tachibana Hokushi

Tachibana Hokushi, whose real name was Tachibana Genjiro, was born in Kanazawa in 1665. Hokushi was one of Basho’s most famous students at the time, and he even accompanied the great master during part of his famous journey through the narrow roads of the North, from Kanazawa to Matsuoka.

Snow in Air

Rain moistens the soil

noxpox - sack-o-witz

fog dissolves to rain
- cool breezes clear the vista,
showing cloud-topped hills
