<br />
John Parsons is an artist and writer living in Norfolk, UK. Dark Seeds Fallen is his sixth book of haiku. This selection of haiku is illustrated with the author’s black and white drawings.<br />
The most obvious characteristic of John Parson’s haiku is its sensuous nature, as we see in the title poem, which begins the collection.<br />
<br />
dark seeds fallen<br />
honesty becomes<br />
more transparent<br />
<br />
Nature, beauty, sight and sensation are evoked with a compelling immediacy. This gives the haiku an intoxicating quality. Where it is leading, in the first instance is to more haiku with the same qualities, bringing in other senses and sensations: touch, smell, sound and emotions. Relationships, with other people and loved ones are also present.<br />
<br />
white sun through mist<br />
she catches my smile<br />
and returns it<br />
<br />
From here to the book’s final haiku:<br />
<br />
sickle moon<br />
through ranks of sweet corn<br />
slides a fox’s brush<br />
<br />
All our senses are cajoled, pampered and stimulated as we follow the poet on a journey through the seasons and countryside of his Norfolk home. Indeed, this last haiku is a measure of how far the poet can take us.<br />
The core of the book is a series of haiku dealing with nature and the seasons, although ‘dealing with’ is an inadequate phrase with which to describe the way these topics meld with both the wider world and the poet’s masterful command of language.<br />
The following haiku is a good example, bringing words such as ‘horned’, ‘naked’ and ‘quicksilver’ together and, at the same time, moving out from the simple subject to the universal:<br />
<br />
horned moon<br />
the naked pollard shivers<br />
a pool of quicksilver<br />
<br />
Similarly, in an otherwise very different haiku:<br />
<br />
snorting saliva<br />
the great red bull eyes me<br />
with indifference<br />
<br />
Words like ‘snorting’, ‘great red bull’ and ‘indifference’, present us with the scary truth of the angry beast.<br />
<br />
The following haiku:<br />
<br />
old war defences<br />
a snake skin sloughed<br />
across barbed wire<br />
<br />
presents us with thoughts of life and death (all too familiar from war footage on TV). Here it is only a snake’s skin caught on barbed wire, but an image which the haiku might bring to mind is that of a battlefield.<br />
The collection ranges widely, from birds, butterflies and flowers to the poet’s personal life and emotions, as in the following haiku with its intimate scene:<br />
<br />
I zip her up<br />
brush her down<br />
she offers a cheek<br />
<br />
No matter the setting: garden, bus queue, beach, river, workshop or sea, Parsons’ descriptive touch is sure, his landscapes are even better when peopled by characters he delineates with warmth, humour and empathy. The old ladies, the old salt, a lone walker, his mother, a wedding party are minimally but powerfully sketched as we see in the following haiku:<br />
<br />
outside the pub<br />
small boy talks to himself<br />
on walkie talkies<br />
<br />
This is a collection to savour, not just for its delights but for its insights into the richness that lies beneath the surface of our lives. It is one of the most significant things about haiku that it focuses on the ‘moment’; the greatest haiku achieve this seamlessly and simultaneously. Haiku that do so effectively are rare enough, and to read one of ‘Parsons’ collections that achieves this so effortlessly is a privilege,<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Just after the war, I am sent
to Aunt Cath’s in Burnham Thorpe, Nelson’s birthplace. It nestles between the
Holkham estate and the great empty expanse of salt marsh that lines the coast;
a world of mystery and magic. Steam engines rumble across fields, ‘night soil’
men visit in the dark. The only light is oil, ghost stories of black dogs and
headless horsemen abound.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">“Uncle Walter’s a dirty old

the kittens”.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<st1:place><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">North Norfolk</span></st1:place><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;"> could only be reached by a single track train; its
inaccessibility protected the folk lore and traditions. Uncle Walter, with his
rich musical accent, is the epitome of all this, from his battered trilby to
his gaiters. On his back door are a mandolin and a twisted hazel. His table is
littered with hedging tools and gin traps, even an old bird’s nest. On the wall,
foxed prints include the Death of Nelson. A stuffed cat sits on the mantel, a squirrel
gun leans in the corner; all magic to my eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Uncle has a black pony called
Bess that pulls a trap. I help him collect hay from the verges, using a sickle.
On our return I perch on top, soak up its smell; listen to the rhythm of
hooves, to him talking with Bess in that sing song voice. He has a special way
with her; she seems to read his mind. I ask him if it’s true.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

secrets. He touches his nose and gives a wink. “Them old boys knew a trick or two,
they had a secret power; they could calm a horse, even when the big guns went
off. “They called it jading; a stoat’s liver mixed with oils, rubbed on the
horse’s shoulder blade, with a piece of mare’s caul, but best was one touch
from the toad’s bone”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">“Yes boy, a sort of wishbone.
You catch a toad and hangs it in a thorn till its all dried up, then you buries
it in the ant’s fortress. On the full moon you throws it in the beck. If the
hip bone swims upstream, you catch it and keeps it under your arm. Its this

What people have said about In a New Garden:<br />
<br />
In this beautiful collection John Parsons offers a sharp eye for detail a skillful sense of cadence<br />
and an adept command of poetic possibilities He has an astute engagement with themes such<br />
as seasons nature and human nature Parsons haiku are variously lucid deft and shrewd; while<br />
several are humorous He chooses his words with care and his haiku are both eloquent and<br />
evocative He demonstrates a sound use of form and his writing is well crafted and technically<br />
excellent This is a rich and rewarding collection resonant with Parsons carefully wrought<br />
language and imagery so often surprising and memorable D @ Patricia Prime Kokako<br />
<br />
John Parsons does an interesting experiment with haiku He places a blank space in the middle<br />
of a line This is so unusual that at first I doubted its effectiveness but now I am convinced that<br />
this technique heightens the poetic quality of his haiku It works mainly in two ways: first it<br />
gives psychological and emotional depth to his haiku and second it frees his haiku from rigidity <br />
His technique performs the role which traditionally kireji is expected to do only more quietly<br />
and with greater subtlety D @ Prof Noboyuki Yuasa<br />

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I was delighted when asked to write a comment for the jacket of John Parsons’ latest collection of haiku <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In a New Garden</em> and, declaring this; I am equally pleased to review the work since I consider it to be one of the finest collections of haiku I have read. In his Preface to this fifth collection of haiku, Parsons writes, “This book is largely extracted from work over the past year, a time of upheaval and resettlement.” The book is divided into the seasons of the year; each season being prefaced by one of Parsons’ drawings.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The haiku are set out three to a page, in indented lines, with plenty of space around them. If you enjoy haiku, here is a volume full of delights and surprises. The strength, energy and compassion of Parsons’ haiku are impressive, and it is reader-friendly without ever being shallow. He brings a wealth of meticulous observation and personal experiences to his writing, through which we are better able to recognize ourselves and our surroundings. He invites the reader to share his vision and knowledge, and to discover with him, both human nature.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As I read and reflect on Parsons’ haiku, in all four sections of the seasonal year, I realize how the many layers of meaning of those title words – Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter – are embedded in this collection, adding to its depth and the way the haiku work on the reader’s imagination.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The book opens with the section Spring. In the first haiku, we are with the poet in his “new garden” watching the unfolding snowdrops:</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: whitesmoke; border-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 5px 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 7px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
sense of belonging<br />
snowdrops open<br />
in a new garden</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Parsons writes empathetically about new growth, flowers, bird’s eggs, the weather and the song of birds:</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: whitesmoke; border-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 5px 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 7px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
somewhere<br />
lost in mist the robin<br />
finds a song</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
this neatly sums up his interest in birds and their habitats. Moment after moment is described in meticulous detail, as we see in the following two haiku:</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: whitesmoke; border-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 5px 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 7px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

*</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 7px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

</blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
By the closing poem of this section, the poet, fully aware of his own blessings, is able to give a “coin for the busker” and to hear him burst into song.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Parsons is a poet who has studied and practices drawing, printmaking, sculpture, songwriting and illustration and he has an instinctive understanding of line and form, and sensitivity to the music<br />
of words. In the section Summer, for example, he writes</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: whitesmoke; border-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 5px 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 7px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 7px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
each haiku having a fine feeling both of the musical and the “painterly” about them. Here we see “the moment under the moment”, the past that’s always there beneath the present.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Parsons seems to enjoy taking leaps to link ideas in unpredictable ways. In this section, for instance, he juxtaposes a dry beech mast to a baby toad, a stoat with a bow wave of rabbits, perennial leeks to random thoughts. Birds are clearly a passionate interest and fertile material for a number of haiku, among them a wren, a buzzard, gulls, pigeons, swallows and a goldfinch. As well as other fine haiku, including the beautiful</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: whitesmoke; border-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 5px 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

In section three Autumn, there are Parsons enthralling haiku about making love, All Hallow’s, the death of a friend, a hospital waiting room. The heart-wrenching</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: whitesmoke; border-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 5px 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Parsons demonstrates an unerring sense of voice in these autumnal poems in which he presents “rust-coloured chrysanths”, “shortening days”, “shriveled fronds”, but in all his work he subtly matches voice to mood and subject matter, as in the following haiku</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: whitesmoke; border-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 5px 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

where his minute observation is a compelling drive.</div>

In the final section Winter, the haiku range across many subjects, from those about day-to-day things such as “lipstick smudges”, a “smart phone”, “new gloves”, to haiku about a value store, Christmas, snow and the lovely</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: whitesmoke; border-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 5px 10px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Whatever he writes about, Parsons always remains connected with the natural world and is sustained by it and even when he probes darker subjects, the sense of wonder it inspires shines through. He uses language powerfully to make us experience the world as he does, to hear birdsong, to feel the sun or the cold, to smell perfume or to sense the pain of stiff joints. His haiku shimmer with light, movement and colour, with sensual images that stay in the mind long after the book is closed.</div>

I have admired John Parsons' haiku for many years, reading it in Blithe Spirit, Presence, Kokako and other magazines. Parsons is also an artist and his drawings regularly decorate the front cover of the UK publication Blithe Spirit. This is a beautifully published collection, comprising over 350 haiku and one haibun. Numbers are limited so be in early to obtain this lovely publication.<br />
<br />
Parsons brings an artists eye to many of his haiku in which he observes the finer points of daily life, or the amazing beauty of nature:<br />
<br />
-----wind over dry reeds<br />
------------the harrier's shadow<br />
--------------------------stills buntings<br />
<br />
<br />
-----mantling wind<br />
---------------the wings<br />
----------------------of a hawk<br />
<br />
His artistry is also applied to the format of his haiku: Here the poems are formatted in the traditional three lines, but his indentations vary and caesures may appear mid-line in either the first or second lines:<br />
<br />
-----darkness-----the sound<br />
--------------of quiet rain<br />
---------------------sinks down<br />
<br />
-----dancing on summer's<br />
------------thread-----a crane fly<br />
-----------------------shortens the days<br />
<br />
This enables the reader to pause between the phrases and to register the emotions. Parsons seldom uses pronouns, so the haiku are left open to the reader's imagination. Where he does use them, they seem quite discreet:<br />
<br />
---------new bag<br />
-----she looks at herself<br />
------------------with it<br />
<br />
I think the quality of Parsons' haiku draws one into the variety of techniques and themes he uses. His themes are those of nature, family, everyday "happenings" and observations about human nature. The interweaving of the themes of the haiku creates a sense of how these moments of time can be captured in three lines, leaving much to the imagination, rather than be written as prose where everything is explained.<br />
<br />
------teenage hips<br />
------------swing in time<br />
------------------until ring tones<br />
<br />
Any doubts about the potential power of the haiku should be eradicated as Parsons imbues his work with so much of his personality that it's hard to think he could write in any other way. His voice is an instrument or tonal tool used with vivid effect. The results are considerable and effective, as we see in the following haiku.<br />
<br />
------her breasts under<br />
-----------black satin a loosely<br />
------------------disguised double bed<br />
<br />
------summer afternoon<br />
------------a fart eases<br />
-------------------through wicker<br />
<br />
Parsons has achieved a stunningly convincing collectio of haiku that is entertaining, often funny and sometimes compassionate.<br />
<br />
-------his postcard<br />
----------------the gaps<br />
----------------------say more<br />
<br />
Arguably, the most arresting material comes in the haibun "For Rose", an elegy for a friend whose "death was sudden and unexpected". Here Parsons delves deep into his feelings for a woman he knew "only for a short while". The haibun ends:<br />
<br />
Now, after the funeral, amongst the trees she loved, a few friends holding hands. We stand silent but for the sound of birds, holding her gently, linking thoughts.<br />
<br />
------in hazel-----quivering<br />
-----------a flat web holds<br />
--------------------a film of ash<br />
<br />
Parsons' haiku are consistently intriguing, his rhythms and phrasing impeccable. There is an impressive meticulousness of emotional observation and a precision in word placement that makes this book a must for both inexperienced and experienced haiku readers and writers.<br />

His tools are hand made from bamboo, the finest steel and human hair. He sits cross legged surrounded by them. The planed hoops, glued by rice paste and clamped by bamboo, are sanded by charcoal, to fit inside each other perfectly, and tested by holding to the sun. They hang in the workshop to dry for many years.<br /> The master finally assembles them one inside another, they are planed inside and out, into the shape of the vessel, constantly refined until perfect.<br /> The lacquer tree is tapped and filtered into porcelain; the brush he uses is made from human hair, lacquer flows over the bowl, the bowl spins on his hand. He regrinds and relacquers it many times, until the depth glows.

It feels that personal. I was surprised to discover a man had written it. I had to then read it from a different perspective, a strongly poetic one because 'he' sees the beauty, the connection, between the rare iris and the woman who has lived life. Now I have the choice of two options....<br /> I choose to experience this haiku as I originally read it because it evokes the deepest emotion from me. Here is an older woman appreciating who she is, honouring her life's journey; she knows she is the rare iris deeply veined. She says to everyone in her world, "This is who I am."<br />.<br />.<br /><br />Third prize in the Klostar Ivanic 2009 International Haiku Contest<br /><br /><br /> in the market<br />only the beggar's dog<br /> stares at the eyes<br /><br /><br /> na trznici<br />samo prosjakov pas<br />gleda u oci<br /><br /><br />Commentary, translated by Prof Vida Pust Skrgulja.<br /><br />An excellent haiku! It is not difficult to imagine a man who had experienced defeat, a man completely broken by his way of life. Our experience lets us know the fact that such people can't look into other people's eyes any more. There are many reasons of that - feeling shame, fear, pain, being hurt, rejected, inferior. Animals (in this case a dog) do not suffer from such negative feelings. They know by instinct that everything that happens in their life is OK. They are direct, sincere, always having the strength to look into the eyes, and search for help. This haiku is excellent just because the beggar is only mentioned, while the accent has been put on the dog (having positive feelings)<br />.<br />.John Parsonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03616196696864521316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015882735693016296.post-54309992151331872852009-12-02T04:52:00.000-08:002009-12-02T06:27:54.792-08:00Haiku and drawings from 'On The Journey Home''<br />on the journey home<br />thunder, sitting in silence<br />letting dust settle<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />village graveyard--full<br />of daisies,dandelion clocks<br />and dying light<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />hole for the tree<br />my hand<br />stirring her ashes<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />in goal<br />his mother dodges<br />away from the ball<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />tending the path<br />to the gate,beyond<br />ruts heading downhill<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />sea side graveyard<br />still enough space<br />to store a boat<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />bookshop,filed under<br />motorbikes a volume<br />on cycladic art<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />playground empty<br />but for wind<br />playing with sparrows<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />winter's afternoon<br />making love<br />the boiler comes on<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />an urgent call<br />to wash my hands<br />of the garden<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />waiting for news<br />with me,on the settee<br />her drop of blood<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />to travel silent<br />as the morning hare<br />on the gravel road<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />between each <br />foxglove,a gap<br />in buzzing<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />dawn wind<br />air jangles<br />with birds<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />his funeral suit<br />in a turn up<br />the wardrobe key<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />on fennel<br />gathering mist,shells<br />of transparent snails<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />porch bell silent<br />its clanger gently <br />strikes the wind<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />hospital<br />white plum blossom feels<br />the pulse of the moon<br /><br />.John Parsonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03616196696864521316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015882735693016296.post-36422253900893560982009-12-01T05:23:00.000-08:002009-12-02T06:29:53.177-08:00From haiku published in BLITHE SPIRIT (British Haiku Society)'<br />overhead whistling <br />quietly the gap<br />in a rook's wing<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />until the apple<br />blossoms the lichen<br />on next door's roof<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />in its grave<br />gently stroking the hare's fur<br />november winds<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />city heat<br />from the grassed reservoir<br />a twister of hay<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />paper bark birches<br />she lets each page<br />flutter down<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />dusk freezes<br />by the old bridge<br />caught in weeds<br />the waning moon<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />overnight snow<br />circling the house<br />each pause of the hare<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />evening mist<br />gunshots echo<br />through dead elms<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />full moon<br />barn owl's face<br />every quarter<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />beach hut washed<br />away by the cliff<br />china neatly stacked<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />snow outside<br />drifting inside<br />fragrance of jonquils<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />back of the drawer<br />wild barley seeds<br />in last summer's socks<br /><br />.John Parsonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03616196696864521316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015882735693016296.post-61678378327071197092009-12-01T05:16:00.000-08:002009-12-02T06:31:07.550-08:00Grand Prix Haibun for the First International Kikakuza Haibun Contest. haibun FOR ROSE'<br />A small procession winds from the walled garden, past high laurel hedges towards the woodland that she loved.
