Today in Japan it is the festival of Poets. Izanami-No-Kami - the Goddess of creativity is considered to have made all things. In honor of this Fall Festival, here is a haiku for Izanami-No-Kami.
Inventive woman
Izanami-No-Kami
Bless and inspire us.

Thanks for letting me know about this holiday. I hadn't heard of it before....
p.s. Is there a link that tells more about it? I did a google search but didn't find anything.
Trying to post these again Deborah. The links, especially the second one, are very lengthy. I think this will do it now.
