Poetry ~ Waka
Riding on the bus home late tonight she looked out the window and felt a surge of wellbeing.
river in the night
black ink scrolls
scribes to the full moon
letters of gold hues
moonbeams of happenstance

sun’s final send-off
different shades of day’s end
moon says hello

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.

wisteria sways –
pendulous blossoms in breeze
unspoken promise (Pat R)

wisteria sways –
pendulous blossoms in breeze
unspoken promise (Pat R)
drinking tea on the veranda
the sweet perfume of blue rain (Chèvrefeuille)
Now I am going to attempt to complete this beautiful hokku:
wisteria sways –
pendulous blossoms in breeze
unspoken promise (Pat R)
safe for a soft whisper
drifting in the zephyr
only nature hears
implicit lyrics float
with a lilt

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

Haiku my Heart
To write a Troiku, visit the poet, Chèvrefeuille, who created this new haiku form at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai where he hs daily meme.
infinite beauty
in the eye of the beholder
just like love
old couple hold hands
shoppers see enduring love
they see their first love

joy in giving
special to the heart
a mother’s love

uplifts the spirit
to lend a hand

all those wasteful years
addicted to evil deeds
bruising poor souls
all those wasteful years
searching in murky places
losing precious time
addicted to evil deeds
losing your heart and soul
Satan smiles
bruising poor souls
innocence,
their only sin

Three Word Wednesday: addicted bruise wasteful
like an old owl
taking in the world
sleepless night

daily moments July 12 2016 owl’s head haiku
traveling from afar
hunt their own tree as a host
slowly sucks out life
emerald ash borers thrive
turning hope to disrepair
star shines in reverence
through bare branches
lost leaves of ash
