Carpe Diem Haiku Special Alexey Andreyev’s “Morning Awakening”

This week our inspiration on Carpe Diem Special is another haiku, written by Alexey Andreyev (Алексей Андреев):

* * *
morning awakening:
among window curtains’ flowers
a blade of gray sky

* * *

The following one is mine, where I tried to stay close to the same mood and spirit:

* * *
tea ceremony
among cherry blossom kimonos
glimpse of pale wrist

Carpe Diem Haiku Special Alexey Andreyev’s “Day After Valentine’s”

Our inspiration on Carpe Diem Special today is a haiku, written by Alexey Andreyev (Алексей Андреев):

* * *
day after Valentine’s –
red petals on the floor, and
a broom in the corner

* * *

Here’ s mine, where I tried to stay close to the same mood and spirit:

* * *
fireworks silenced
in empty champagne flute
aurora

Today our inspiration on Carpe Diem Special is another haiku, written by Alexey Andreyev (Алексей Андреев):

* * *
first snowflakes!
I love them too much to think
they’ll melt by noon

* * *

I am following with mine, trying to stay close to the same mood and spirit:

* * *
first raindrops
taste still lingers on my lips
after storm is gone

* * *
verdant buds
succumbing to warm caresses
petals burst wide open

* * *

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

Today on Carpe Diem Special there is another haiku, written by Alexey Andreyev (Алексей Андреев) to inspire us:

* * *
summer evening –
empty swing swaying slightly
forward … back …

* * *

I am following with mine, trying to keep it of the same mood and spirit:

* * *
another storm
raindrop rush through wind chimes
tinn….tinn…

* * *

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

Today on Carpe Diem Special our inspiration is a haiku by Alexey Andreyev (Алексей Андреев):

* * *

evening sky –
over the city lights
stars hardly seen

* * *

I am following with my own, keeping them of the same mood and spirit (hopefully!) and also refreshing my Russian:

* * *

cherry blossoms вишни в цвету
during the daily rush в повседневной суете
unnoticed не замечены

* * *
your silhouette твой силуэт
in the crowded city в толкотне города
appears, disappears появляется, исчезает

* * *
