kristine, your haiku reminds me of a saying, brought to my attention by another resident-author, whom this thought was imprinted upon.
the main source was from yatsuka ishihara, who in his enlightenment expressed, “tell about the truth as if it is false”
some tend to say, “write about that which is false as though it’s true”
in arguing the concept of “the haiku”, surprisingly this is rarely mentioned, even though many of the masters employed it.
i wonder if this would be, because, it would undermine the tone of today, being, “using one’s imagination or interpretation should be avoided in writing the haiku”… HA
a nice perception, christine, oops, forgive me, i was going to erase the name change, now, i am reflecting on why, i would write your name as such.

thanks for sharing, “kristine”
a fiery dawn
a sole bird-song in
breeze spasms ~
climbing hill
the pleasure to let child
hit summit first
the morning sky
so close by on
the hill top~
an yellow butterfly
soars into the red sky~
breeze chimes cool light~
at the dead end
of the dark tunnel
the golden dawn~
spring sunday morning
blazing sun burns through the darkness …
finches chirp
–
After the sunrise
some runways crossing the border:
the trees shadows
blacken pines
smoldering grey ashes —
i can hear the mockingbird’s song
