Niji (Rainbow) – July 7, 2015

Posted on July 7, 2015 by Georgia

world of bubbles
floating in the green field
dancing rainbows

through drops of rain
rainbow glistening windows
a summer shower

rain in sunshine
a bridge of vibrant colours
summer rainbow

Summer Rainbows,

just tiny bits of light caught in the water as rain falls through the sunshine.

summer reflections – rainy sunny afternoon – rainbow

Carpe Diem #769 Niji (rainbow)

One-bun invented by Jim Kacian sounds like a bakery order so I’m suggesting we call this extreme form of haibun an ichibun … what do you say 😉 ?

  I see you get notifications from my post and happy I am of that … I’d linked Jim Kacian’s page on CDHK instead of my own haiku post by accident! Glad you enjoyed my rainbow series!

  Thanks Jen … I suppose though that Jim Kacian as it’s creator will have to decide to change it … though I just might entitle my one-buns like this anyway – BTW reading up on haibun, I found that it has from one line to several and for the Japanese it is still a just a haibun. 😉

    Yes – I remember some one line haibun. The narrower definition sounds like another case of our modern love of making things more difficult than they need to be. 🙂

Nice mood, though at first the second one seemed naughty!

Wonderful trio of haiku on ranibow Georgia and your one-bun is really awesome. I like that new name you have given it … ichibun … sounds great. I don’t know if Jim would like the idea of changing the name of his invention 🙂

  I know that Jim might not like changing the name of his invention … and haven’t dared ask him as I don’t know him … it was just an idea that popped into my head after having people commenting about bakeries etc 😉 Glad you enjoyed the trio and love Jim’s form, by whatever name!
