Carpe Diem Special *Autumn “light of the full moon”*
Our inspiration on Carpe Diem Special this week is a beautiful haiku, written by Chèvrefeuille – our Carpe Diem Haiku Kai host:
* * *
light of the full moon
shines through colored leaves
at last … autumn
* * *
I tried not to wander too far from the same mood and spirit while writing mine:
* * *
he watches me
nude bathing in the fool moon
a shudder…autumn breeze

Carpe Diem Special *Lolly’s “another anchor thread”*
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
* * *
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’s Romancing The Haiku
There is a new feature on Carpe Diem Haiku Kkai with just one theme – “romance”…
* * *
your silhouette
in the middle of a crowded room
my knees go weak
* * *
summer shower
tasting raindrops on your lips
-long awaited first kiss
* * *
lips and fingertips
we unwrap each other
in love
* * *
