mating call (haiga)

love has no bounds

despite the blazing heat,

cicada sings

gasping silence

broken, cicada

flicks her wing

Carpe Diem time Glass #5, Cicadas

More info on Cicadas here

on autumn paths,

one comes across beauty

beyond words

hush of the night (haiku)

mushi no ne ya yo fukete shizumu ishi no naka

the insects' chirp
as night deepens
sinks into the stones

shizukasa ya iwa ni shimi-iru semi no koe

lonely silence,
a single cicada's cry
sinking into stone

semino uta mangetsuno hikarino nakade shimetta kirameku koishi

shimmering pebble

wetted in the light of the full moon -

a cicada's song

hot summernight

cooling down in the old pond

the sound of mosquitos

How can one do justice to these haiku? To feel them to hear them to see them and to read them...are a privilege. It's an experience and then I read a few offerings from CP poets. Again, I'm swept off my feet and struggle wondering how I can contribute and so I put myself in a moment in time, by the lake.

soft ripple,

tiny pebble on

moonlit waters

soft ripple

hush of the night,

sips the lake

CarpeDiem Special #110, Shiba Sonome 1 "as night deepens"

give her back the night (senryû)

embraces the dark,

drowns in the sulking

blues

common bedfellows

moaning the night

wearing night,

sleeps not alone with

moody blues

a blinding glow

an empty star soon

steals the night

Nature's paradox (haiga)

final act

melded hues

scent of death

rotting foliage

exit with a bang

kaleidoscope

lie in wait

darkness shades the bed

coverlet of snow

family (haiku)

Children popins are blessed surprises that end my day in such way I burst with joy.

after school visit

laced with treasured

sunset

spearflower (haiga)

Black bird feeding on berries

black bird

sings Happy New Year

mouth full

spearflower

hare on fresh snow

tippy toes
