soft breeze dries her tears

setting sun
bids farewell

CDHK “spiritual ways”
Our host, Chèvrefeuille, asks us to write a haiku where the “spiritual way” is included. Here are two of our host’s:
strong hands praying
at the corner of the street –
God be with you © Chèvrefeuille
deep silence
only whispered prayers –
the scent of incense © Chèvrefeuille
Inspired by Patricia Donegan’s haiku:
As rain drops diminish
I hear the tapping
of the monk’s wooden bell. © Patricia Donegan
after the downpour
swallows bathe in pools
of rainwater

Tonight
the cypress tree & I
lean into the wind. © Patricia Donegan

tall white sail tautens

bodies melt
yellow rose in her hair
tango of love
bodies melt
sowing their roots
forming one
yellow rose in her hair
fragrant
seductive
tango of love
acquiescence
fruitful foreplay

Our host inspires us on the Gorse Tree (bush) and to learn more, read it at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai
The Troiku is a new form of haiku created by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem
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
