Grebe's graceful dive,
Gliding through the watery world,
A feathered dancer.

I had to look up what a Grebe was!

Snowflakes still will fall
Long time after we finish
Human history

It may take a while
Until Earth finds balance back
But it will happen

New species will come
Try to make sense of our time
Wonder what happened

They will shake their heads
In disbelieve what we did
And snowflakes will fall.

Vlad the Impaler
cruel vegan ruler
bleeding tears

Recent discovery based on his own letters, indicate that the dictator on whom 'Dracula' was based, was vegan. Whether it was by choice or because meet wasn't available, remains the question. He's said to have suffered from haemolacria, crying blood tears.

@haikutec @dailyhaikuprompt @poetry

Thanks, Alan! Sometimes I find in English certain notions should be one word. This is one of them for me. I'm kind of in two minds about call or calls. I've added an 's'. I think either version works, albeit in a different way. Funny, isn't it, how just one letter can keep you preoccopied.

Warm regards,
Marjolein

@MarjoleinRotsteeg @dailyhaikuprompt @poetry Sometimes a letter, sometimes that letter makes us look at that line or the next. Haiku is sometimes keyhole surgery! Also the constant movement from creation to editing is good for left/right brain activity. :-)

Snuggle up with a good book,
Cosy autumn day.

And today's Haiku. I think I'm projecting with this one!

Now it reveals its hidden side
and now the other—thus it falls,
an autumn leaf.

裏を見せ表を見せて散る紅葉

(ura o mise / omote o misete / chiru momiji)

An most excellent choice of haiku by RYOKAN Taigu!

Interestingly, he wrote this haiku as he lay dying in February 1831, which gives the haiku's reference to autumn an extra poignancy.

If you're interested, all of Ryokan's haiku, in Japanese and English, are here:

Cheers!

@romanalanwrites @dailyhaikuprompt @poetry

Thank you for the added context. The reference indeed is even more powerful with it.

I may have read this haiku in a collection about Japanese death poems, but I had forgotten that bit.
