unnoticed
today’ s farewell melts
with the passing clouds
unnoticed
today’ s farewell melts
with the passing clouds
Just before dawn I have the world all to myself. /Terri Guillemets/
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
* * *
It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are… than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise. /Henry David Thoreau/
Our source of inspiration on Carpe Diem today is a haiku, written by Matsuo Basho:
* * *
how rare!
on leaving the mountain
the first eggplant
* * *
The following ones are my attempt to stay close to the same mood and spirit:
* * *
old oak-tree shade
nurtured in maze of roots
black summer truffle
* * *
double rainbow
arches across stormy sky
time to count blessings
* * *
* * *
end of party
stuck high in tree tops
red balloon
* * *
colourful bulbs
drifting gracefully above
neck stiffness
* * *
sequence of twists
bouncing in his hands
baloon animals
* * *
concentration
searching for light blue balloon
in spring sky
* * *
And…yes, I couldn’t resist since it seems to fit the theme…
