In the compendium of new beginnings, which the New Year offers, there is the detail of food. Why not strengten ourselves, with a mind to improving situations, along with our resolutions to improve our lives? You can read more on that idea at
ReplyDelete'Lucky Foods For The New Year' [http://www.epicurious.com/articlesguides/holidays/newyearsday/luckyfoods]
This kukai; kukai number nine emerged a winner who paid attention not only to the people in her family but also to her pet
new year's day
the smell of pickled herring
on the cat's breath
--Cindy Tebo
Begining anew with attention to one's pet; there is a pertinent humanitarian quality here; one of caring, not just on the level of human to human , but of wider acceptance and inclusion, of a pet in the family
Feeding the family maybe an everyday act , but feeding the pet is an extension of caring in any family.
A truly AHA moment of haiku recorded
I was reading recently from WHR, a section of cat pet haiku the section is titled ' My Left-handed Black Cat by Atene Kawasaki/ Haiku about by friend after the death of his wife' [http://worldhaikureview.googlepages.com/myleft-handedblackcat] and the poem that was particularly striking for me was the one in which he questions himself about the situation of others of his cats family; this one the lucky one having strayed into his life;
kogarashi no naka ka koneko no chichi-haha wa
parents
of this kitten...are they exposed
to bitter winter wind?
--Atene Kawasaki as per WHR; Volume 8 Issue 1 - January 2010; copyright
For me this poem resonated well the isssue of caring also subthemed in this CKK's Number nine's winning Haiku
Best Wishes for the New Year; Thanks to all for maikng Caribbean Kigo Number Nine Kukai a success;much love

My favorite is Sakuo’s haiku. The rice cake is made now and it was cut in small pieces for an old couple… I found here many symbols in few words.
