September 27th Supermoon Lunar Eclipse

(haiku)
exudes perfection
I had nothing to capture
your glowing presence

only deity
manifests divine beauty
of this calibre

forever
etched in my memory,
divine excellence

Full Moon May 14th 2014 was a sight for sore eyes. I tried to take a photo…okay, I took many but nothing, just nothing rendered its beauty.

Update: September 28, 2015 after seeing the super blood moon and lunar eclipse last night, I have to say I was thrilled beyond words…so will use this poem to share my experience last night as well as a photo I took with my I-phone.

Merci Chèvrefeuille (tanka – haiku)

I am trying to keep the mood of our host and mentor for already, almost three years of hosting haiku memes.  Rather than translate word for word, I have written both a French and English interpretation of his haiku:

haiku poets
write about transience … a short moment
lasting in time

© Chèvrefeuille

haiku poets
come together in passing – still,
virtual and real

poètes de haïku
rendez-vous précaire – encore,
virtuel et vrai

© Tournesol ‘15

And this is my thanks to our mentor, Chèvrefeuille, who shares his passion and thoughtfully teaches us more than words, daily.

haiku lover
shares his passion, teaching
patiently
one moment comes to life

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai – Time Machine

I chose this video of More Than Words (one of my most favourite songs)  with the original  Extreme in front of a live audience. I think this shows our “coming together” at Carpe Diem as a family.   Merci Kristjaan pour ton dévouement . Cheryl-Lynn
