halloween

目が閉鎖かぼちゃの中で腸だ

me ga heisa kabocha no naka de harawata da

with eyes closed
inside the pumpkin--
guts!

and so it begins

so this is my haiku blog. i plan to start writing haiku on a regular basis. i might even try them in (very broken) japanese from time to time.

in case you're wondering, "mizu no oto" means "sound of water," and comes from one of my favorite haiku (pretty much the most famous haiku ever written), by Matsuo Bashō:

古池や蛙飛びこむ水の音

furuikeya kawazu tobikomu mizu no oto

old pond!
a frog jumps in
sound of water
