Carpe Diem Special Lolly’s “another anchor thread”

On August 30, 2015August 30, 2015 By Ese' s VoiceIn Haiku6 Comments

Our inspiration on Carpe Diem Special this week is a tanka, written by a very gifted haiku poetess Laura Williams a.k.a. Lolly of Lovely Things:

* * *
sifting through
the personal effects
of a spider’s web
an autumn wind loosens
another anchor thread

* * *

Here’ s what came to my mind after reading hers:

* * *
entangled footprints
fading on the bare shore
summer’ s last haiku
