~siragiku sensei said "手書きすることはとても大切":
"it is important to put your haiku down in handwriting."

i agree.

i'm posting a photo of my haiku memo in the management diary i hold with me wherever i go. those days during the haikuwrimo i was thinking of new verses all the time. such mental exercises can calm you down significantly. when the day didn't go right, your muse in haiku helps alleviate the woes quite a bit.

may i request that all our haijin here too post a photo of their own haiku in their own handwriting?

then come and join in my contest, look into this journal entry for the details:

we are waiting

as requested by =Iscariot-Priest
the haiku written in those two pages:

RIGHT BOTTOM COLUMN:
ふわふわと水梅の香や朝の凪
fuwa fuwa to suibai no ka ya asa no nagi
the weightless scent of wrightia drifts
in the morning calm.

冬という季節は朝の二十二度
fuyu toiu kisetu wa asa no nijuuni do
we call this season 'winter':
22°C in the morning.

虎猫のけんかの相手ぬいぐるみ
toraneko no kenka no aite nuigurumi
the tiger cat wrestles
with a stuff toy.

鼻水も涙も出せるラクサかな
hanamizu mo namida mo daseru rakusa kana
with snivels and tears,
oh laksa!

劇場や化粧崩れたお嬢さん
gekijou ya keshou kuzureta ojousan
drama theatre-
the lady's make-up is in a mess.

帰り時に重いまぶたやおぼろ月
kaeriji ni omoi mabuta ya oborotuki
going home with heavy eyelids-
a fuzzy moon.

黒猫の銀の輪郭光けり
kuroneko no gin no rinkaku hikarikeri
the black cat's silver silhouette
glows.
(interestingly, the portion i smeared with correction fluid actually glows a little. the text is exactly 'hikarikeri', that is, 'glows'. that wasn't intentional.)

LEFT UPPER CORNER:
梅つ月ながめの空や空の日記
umetutuki nagame no sora ya kara no niki
the sky persistently rains
in the second lunar month-
a blank diary.
