she mutters,
slowly waking up,
flipping her pillow:

spring's first kiss,
still on the cool side,
but warmed by the sun.

2015 Shining Wind Contest: Ends 4/1Inspiration
The kigo Shining Wind (kaze hikaru / 風光る) refers to a warm breeze of spring that follows after a dark cold winter, which breathes gently upon the skin, as if like a shining radiance. Throughout history cultures have named the wind based on different characteristics it exhibits or where it is coming from (or going to). Whether it is the tropical Alizé, a dust-laden Haboob, or Zephyros the Greek god of the west wind, there are stories behind each. Join the Haiku Club as we explore these stories and, perhaps, create our own.
