Wisteria (haiku)

Tournesol Tournesol dans un jardin 2015-06-022015-06-02 1 Minute

carillons muets
douces larmes violettes
apaisent
~
hushed carillons
tender mauve teardrops
soothe

Carpe Diem Special “Rallentanda’s a carpet of purple”

wisteria
fragrant chandeliers drop
a carpet of purple

Here is our host’s inspired haiku:

in the moonlight
Wisteria flowers look fragile –
a gust of wind

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

I would call this a therapeutic haiku, like a word massage!

  Thank you, Hamish, that painting is so soothing almost as great as soothing hands in a massage.

  When I imagine Wisteria, I always think of Monet.

    Now that is another interesting association … I’ve often wondered if ones name can influence ones life 😉

    She is named after her dad actually. I have always loved the name “Claude” for a girl

Very nice – the French version is so lovely and complements the Monet beautifully
