under the Buck Moon (haibun)

Tournesol CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI, Haibun, Haiku, Solo no Renga 2017-09-282017-09-28 1 Minute

Driving to their summer cottage in July along that long twisting road filled vacationers with such excitement and promise. A year older since last summer, the girls and boys have blossomed, each with varied agenda…some fulfilling romantic dreams, others realizing hormonal packed fantasies…

winding road
summer’s burgeoning fruits
ripen in time

plucked under a full moon
succulent sighs trickle

their last kiss lingers
haunting the winding road home
September adieus

Written for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai’s prompt “winding road’.

Inspired by Kim’s haiku:

magic woolen yarn
leading us back to winter
the winding road home

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

The prose is like looking at a photo album, Cheryl, a reminder of happy days – and then the poignant September adieus. I love the lines:
‘plucked under a full moon
succulent sighs trickle’ –
just a hint and then their last kiss haunts the winding road home – beautifully subtle.

  Thanks so much. I had the prose in my mind but was stuck until I saw your haiku…your line of winter coming. I did not know the July full moon is also called a buck moon…how appropriate it, eh? [chuckles]

How nice and romantically inclined this seems to be!

  Thanks, Hank, that winding road reminded me of going to summer camps and cottages as a teenager. Kim’s haiku about winter coming motivated me to write about that.
