#busonchallenge #dailyhaiku #senryusunday

Day 14 of my Buson 100 days challenge. A liberating project - freely writing 10 'whatever' poems daily, and if I'm lucky there may be one or two eccentric ones.

Wonderful to see your translated senryu - Soseki's translated poetry is hard to find. I read most of his work where available, but I am yet to read 'The Tower of London'.

Cool. I look forward to the poems.
