outskirts of Cairo-
building pyramid in mud
offspring of pharaohs

Today on Carpe Diem our source of inspiration is a haiku, written by a haiku poet from Ghana – Nana Fredu-Agyeman:
* * *
looking at the sun
for a silver coin –
roadside beggar
* * *
Here’ s my attempt to stay close to the same mood and spirit:
* * *
roadside mud
fading under the first snow
holes in beggar’ s shoes
* * *
Our source of inspiration on Carpe Diem Special this week is another haiku, written by Jim Kacian:
* * *
harvest dusk–
sitting in the wheelbarrow
with the potatoes
* * *
Writing my haiku, I tried to stay close to the same mood and spirit:
* * *
potato field-
shining between muddy rows
red rubber boots
* * *
all shapes and sizes
piled up in autumn sun
-potato harvest
* * *
tractor growls
disappear in early dusk
acres of bare field
* * *
Watch the Birdie!
