 naviarhaiku283 – The clear day in the rainy season

The clear day in the rainy season.
The madder red of the twilight appeared
And vanished instantly.

Poem by Takahama Kyoshi 

Kyoshi was the editor of the haiku magazine Hototogisu, which promoted a more traditional style of haiku compared to other contemporary schools which were not following the pattern of seventeen syllables at that time. Kyoshi also highlighted the symbolic function of the kigo (the season word), even though the more modern trends were already tending towards season-less haiku. He was active during the Shōwa period of Japan.
