Carpe Diem: Back To Basic

Tournesol Tournesol dans un jardin 2015-03-11 1 Minute

a lovely haiku and for those who are interested in writing more, the writer had even noted the steps for a Classical Haiku.

Reading Pleasure

Done for Carpe Diem. We are to:

Describe a moment as short as the sound of a pebble thrown into water;
2. use 5-7-5 syllables;
3. Use a kigo (or seasonword);
4. Use a kireji (or cuttingword);
5. Sometimes a deeper spiritual or Zen-Buddhistic meaning;
6. First and third line are interchangeable.

This is a re-work of a haiku from my archives. 🙂

Empty Shells

night of thunderstorm

crushing on billowing waves

tiny empty shells

I appreciate your patience with me as I catch up on your blogs. Thanks a million! Shalom

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 View all posts by Tournesol
