This week the source of inspiration on Carpe Diem Sparkling Stars is a haiku, written by Matsuo Basho:
* * *
this door of grass
the resident changes for a time
a house of dolls
* * *
I tried not to wander too far from the same mood and spirit while writing mine:
* * *
waiting for travelers
on the bamboo doormat
a fading welcome
* * *
Lovely!
