Written for: Carpe Diem #1723 Honeysuckle
“As a haiku poet I use a “haigo” or “penname” and as you know my “haigo” is Chèvrefeuille (French for Honeysuckle). I am a Dutch haiku poet and I write almost all my haiku in English. I even find it very difficult to create haiku in my own language, Dutch. Sometimes I even think in English and that’s sometimes, e.g. at work, a “pain in the a..”, but I cannot help it.
“For today’s prompt I have chosen a haiku in which my “haigo” is used.”
sweet perfume
lingers in the warm summer night
Honeysuckle blooms

And here is an oldie from my archives:
searching my inner self
following the way of Honeysuckle
path of wisdom*

Here is my attempt:
I walk past it
block later, I smell perfume
drifting scent of honeysuckle
