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

Black & White Sunday: Sculpture
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

Carpe Diem Haiku *Meadow*
There’s no similar feeling to the walking barefoot through a meadow on a summer morning when everything around is just waking up. The glistening dew drops, softly bending the blades of grass. Petals of the blossoms, so moist before opening, caressed by the first intangible rays of light. Silence, with all the scents of the meadow, released by the light breeze…inviting and alluring. It is one of those small miracles of life to be a part of that…every step of the way, almost tingling as nature’s energy flows in, resonating from toes up – through every cell of my body.
trickles of dew drops
rolling down a pair of bare feet
meadow’ s morning glory
