his fingertips
solve mystery of blush on her petals

Carpe Diem Haiku *Poppies*

lying among poppies
i follow the path of clouds
euphoria

shuddering
between flushed petals
a dewdrop

Carpe Diem Imagination
This is a photo of Clematis in full bloom from the frontyard of our Carpe Diem Haiku host Chèvrefeuille to be the source of inspiration to write a haiku…
* * *
velvety petals
wide open to allure
-bee’ s honeyed delight

Carpe Diem Haiku *Magnolia*
* * *
glowing peacefully
in magnolia blossoms
crescent moon
* * *
blushing innocence
white petals open gently
bride on wedding day
* * *
moment of passion
stolen kiss under magnolia tree
tasting spring

Carpe Diem Haiku Shuukan *Blossom*

glimpse of blush
on geisha’ s ivory cheeks
early blossom
* * *
blossom petals
caressed by sun’ s warm gaze
whistling blackbird

Carpe Diem Haiku Special *Alexey Andreyev’ s “First Snowflakes”*
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
* * *
