Carpe Diem Special Fuyuko Tomita’s “actors we all are, she said”

Our inspiration on Carpe Diem Special this week is a tanka, written by a well-known haiku poetess Fuyuko Tomita:

* * *
Actors we all are, she said
mirrors to reflect
each other
We all leave the stage, she said
and left a smile in mine

* * *

Here’ s my attempt to stay close to the same mood and spirit:

* * *
piercing silence
among shards of broken plates
the same drama
played all over again
for the last time

* * *

Carpe Diem Special Fuyuko Tomita’s “the corner”

Our inspiration on Carpe Diem Special this week is another haiku, written by a well-known haiku poetess Fuyuko Tomita:

* * *
Under a cold
street lamp
I’ve just turned
the corner

* * *

Here’ s my attempt to stay close to the same mood and spirit:

* * *
in the puddle
cornered
by cherry blossoms
little piece of blue sky

* * *

* * *
Black-iron wind bell
in the white summer night
tinkles on and on

* * *

Here’ s my attempt to stay close to the same mood and spirit:

* * *
before the sunrise
echoing in mountain valley
chime of sheep-bells

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

This week our inspiration on Carpe Diem Special is a haiku, written by a well-known haiku poetess Fuyuko Tomita:

* * *
Shadow,
when I turn the corner
you will be alone

* * *

Here’ s my attempt not to wander too far away from the same mood and spirit:

* * *
across the street
running towards each other
shadows of strangers

* * *
