back in time (haiku)

Tournesol CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI, Haiku 2016-06-222016-06-22 1 Minute

first day of summer
scent of princess Ann Rose
cherish willow’s shade

retro oasis
under a palm tree – lights
Camel cigarette

cruise-ship blares
voyage escaping winter’s snow
rainbow in the sky

yellow daisies
gild St-Anne’s Shrine – whilst,
campers bow in prayer

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

  That was a special one with my mom in mind since her birthday is June 22nd and she used to follow the life of Princess Ann
