bonding in the moonlight ( Troiku)

under the moonlight
sisters
savouring last call

under the moonlight
melancholy moment
– just a hint

two sisters
bonds stronger than steel
but, for their master

savouring last call
hoping for one last treat
‘til sleep takes over

sunrise in the East (haibun)Photo ©Arianne & Sebastien

This photo was taken by a friend and former colleague who is travelling with her partner on a cycling tour in South-East Asia. Arianne and Sebastien are very generous in sharing some of their experiences and sights along the way at Tandem en Cavale on Facebook.

Being a sucker for sunrises and sunsets, I had to write something to one of their stunning photos.

Sunrise at Kawah Ijen, July 10, 2016.

all your hopes
hanging
in the dawning mist

Daily Moments – July 15/16 ~afternoon haze (troiku)

fruit of a tree rests
even when heat mists over
cicadas sing

fruit of a tree rests
under the mist
heatwave

even when heat mists over
bullfrog
catches the fly

cicadas sing
afternoon lullaby
the old man snores

Daily Moments July 10, 2016 – busy bees troibun

The colour purple caught her eye…so much lavender spread out just as she turned off Laurier onto rue Casgrain. The sun was at high noon and perfect to see the splendour of the rich colours before her. Then she saw why they were so beautiful.

busy bees
creating nature’s beauty
tirelessly

busy bees
floral revival
labour of love

creating nature’s beauty
under His watchful eye
faithfully

tirelessly
like a mother’s love
nurtures

scent of roses (haiga)

sunny afternoon
smell the roses
beauty beckons

recipe for a home (tank-Art)

a new house needs
dollops of harmony
buckets of love
painting every wall
draping each window

traces of you
fragrance of each of you –now!
you may call it “HOME”

Congratulations to a dear colleague in her new home!

le coup de foudre (haiga)

This retro postcard I saw at The Muscleheaded Blog inspired me…thanks, Chris. This could have been my maternal grandparents after WWI in a town near Montréal, Gervaise regard dans les yeux de son bien aimé, Elphège.
