I have not been making hebo haiku (including free-form haiku) for a long time now.
Or rather, I haven’t been able to write any.
After all, if my mood is too high-tension or too low-tension, it may become difficult to twist a haiku.
As for myself, my mind is at peace, but I feel sentimental and sentimental. At such times, when I am suddenly moved by the scenery of the outside world or by a mental image, I think of writing a haiku, or rather, I want to write a haiku.
Therefore, if I stay in a room or an inn all the time, or if I am worried about one thing, a haiku will not come out. The reason Matsuo Basho and Yosa Buson continued to travel may be because if there is no movement in the outside world, the mind to create haiku will not move either.
However, it is too much trouble to travel for the sake of writing haiku, and I am not a haiku poet with such deep roots.
Whenever I feel the urge to write a haiku, all I can do is to look at the view from the window of my air-conditioned room and capture the words that come to my mind. The result is a haiku that is beautiful and somewhat silly….
Autumn is far away even if I want to be blown by the autumn wind
The season has come when I tend to feel sentimental. I think I should go on a trip and put a little more effort into haiku (free verse haiku).
