Sakura Jishidi 
shadows of sparrows 
amongst the pink 

— Katherine E Winnick (UK) 
Presence #79, 2024 
Commentary from Nicholas Klacsanzky:
“Sakura Jishidi” is the name of the Japanese tree peony. They commonly bloom in spring, and are used in haiku to signify this season. Employing the Japanese word for the flower instead of the English version is an intriguing choice. I believe it increases the sound quality of the haiku, as “Japanese tree peony” doesn’t mesh with the “s” and “i” sounds in the rest of the poem as much.
The keyword in this haiku, in my opinion, is “shadows.” I feel it has two meanings: the physical presence of shadows and the memory of sparrows. It could also be a reference to something fleeting, ominous, or gloomy. The mood of this haiku centers around this word, as even though the sakura blossoms display their pink, the memory, absence, or distance of sparrows decorates the flowers. Ultimately, this brings about a melancholy mood amidst spring. I resonate with these types of moods in haiku, as they mirror our nuanced lives. Within joy, there is oftentimes a touch of sadness or loss. This does not diminish joy, in my opinion, but allows us to be more grateful when it occurs and to experience it with a mature lens.

paperwhite narcissus
in front of the mirror
feeling ugly again

M R Defibaugh

paperwhite narcissus
his reflection distorted
ripples in the pond

Katherine E Winnick

Commentary :

M.R. Defibaugh’s haiku is an allusive poem itself. The poem connects to the myth of Narcissus, a man so in love with his own reflection in a pool of water that the obsession led to his demise. Whereas Narcissus is captivated by his own beauty, the speaker in M.R.’s original poem is distressed by the sight of his own visage in the mirror. Katherine E Winnick does a skillful job of maintaining the original allusion while still creating a haiku that connects to the seed poem. The opening line serves as the allusive linchpin; not only does it name a specific flower, but it directly names the source myth. Katherine also connects to the original myth by using the image of a pond rather than a mirror. The second line connects to M.R.’s sense of ‘feeling ugly.’ A distorted reflection is not usually a flattering one. Katherine doesn’t have to name the feeling; she conveys it skillfully in her organization of allusive images.
