Basho’s “where the hototogisu is singing” – April 19, 2015
no wo yoko ni uma hikimuke yo hototogisu
riding over the summer moor, –
“ah! lead the horse that way!”
where the hototogisu is singing

The goal of the Carpe Diem Haiku Kai – Sparkling Stars feature is to try to compose another haiku in the same spirit as the one given following the classical rules:
driving past spring fields
“stop by the road and listen!”
larks sing in the mist
