cunning owl (tan renga)

Tournesol dans un jardin 1 Minute

Georgia always has such amazing early morning verses you can see at Bastet and Sekhmet blog with colourful tales and beautiful poetry and her exclusive Waka blog. Our host at Carpe Diem has chosen one of her haiku for this week`s tan renga challenge.

early morning
silence before the rising sun
raindrops on a branch (Georgia)

Here is our host`s completion:

early morning
silence before the rising sun
raindrops on a branch (Georgia)

on the deserted beach
I greet the sun with joy (Chèvrefeuille)

I can’t seem to do this one justice with beautiful completions I have read this morning from others and can`t help think of Georgia’s fondness for humour. This is my humble attempt:

early morning
silence before the rising sun
raindrops on a branch (Georgia)

night owl lurks cunningly
mouse, his bedtime snack     (Tournesol)

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

      4. Yep, my Jamie was such a hunter…hunted birds on the fly and mice he’d bring home to show mommy which I squealed like a real girlie girl:( My neighbour scolded me for letting him jump the birds…our backyard was a wooded area…made sense to me.

      5. As though you should have followed him to make sure he didn’t jump the birds? Anyway … my male cats hunted much more than the females … and always brought their catch home. One day Maao brought home a field mouse, but didn’t kill it .. the darned thing ran in one direction and I in the other .. then we had to find it … which he did, it was hidden in a computer we were going to refurbish, it had wiggled through an opening in the back of the computer where an old video card had been.

      6. sounds like Jamie…he would throw it up in the air at midnight when everyone was asleep and me thinking it was dead…it was not ! What a cat he was…a true hunter.
