tons of wedddings here in the US too, enjoyed the ku.

good one
we always know the stars are there

Hi Gabi,

Greetings from cloudy Nagoya.
I like this ku a lot, escpecially the use of numbers for the tanabata festival date, and the capitalized OH. It almost makes me think of dialing a phone number.
.hard to see the beloveds' stars in a cloudy night sky, eh? We just have to believe they're out there, this one night a year.

.....

oh, I missed this date during my hectic schedule, otherwise i would have celebrated it as i love numbers like these.
i guess this haiku will always need a footnote to make naive international readers like me aware that it does celebrate the Star Festival.

.....

Hi Gabi,
yes, there were several events here on that special day...supposed to be a lucky date!
Do you think this would also work with "star festival" as line 1?
(Since I see that it's on different dates.)
