Frank has graciously given permission for me to use the Bussokusekika form for this Haikai Challenge. The Bussokusekika is a rare form of Japanese poetry that consists of six lines written in a 5-7-5-7-7-7 mora pattern. David Bowles.
Written In Response To:
BrewNSpew Cafe Challenge Of The Week – harvest moon.
Frank J. Tassone Haikai Challenge #104 (9/14/19): harvest moon (meigetsu) – This year’s Harvest Moon coincided with Friday the 13th. This week, write the haikai poem of your choice that states or alludes to the Harvest Moon (meigetsu).
golden is the glow
of summer’s end harvest moon
farmer’s evening light
shining upon seed’s fruit borne
harvested to feed the need
blessing spirit soul body
