April 21, 2007 - Workshop and Kukai

Kath Wilson, Tom Bilicke, and Debbie Kolodji
April 21, 2007, Pacific Asia Museum

Today's workshop was small but lively. The koi were back in the courtyard to inspire us:

floating gauze

koi wiggle

- Deborah P Kolodji

We discussed the season and had a small kukai with many nice haiku by the three of us.

Here are some sample April kigo:

The Season: spring wind, warmer days
Sky and Heavens: spring sky, pink moon
Mountains, Fields and Ocean: snow run-off, green hills
Flowers and Plants: Easter Lily, wisteria
Birds and Animals: harbor seal pups, woodpecker nests
Human Affairs: baseball season starts, vacation plans

Our next workshop and kukai will be on Saturday, May 19, 2007, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Pacific Asia Museum. Bring your haiku and thoughts of the season and join us.
