Poetry ~ Waka
wind though the gaps in the cabin walls … an eagle’s cry

sun dips slowly, calling me…will I remember you?

recalling the lilt of your laughter – scent of Shalimar

how long before I forget your voice?

harmonica cries
lonely sailor sighs in wait

knee deep in weeds
longs for lingering days
summer’s promise
summer’s promise
languid limbs on private beach
enchanted sighs
or as our host, Chèvrefeuille, has suggested a Tanka
knee deep in weeds
longs for lingering days
summer’s promise
languid limbs on private beach
enchanted sighs

fleurs chuchotent
louanges fait pétiller l’âme
trois coup de velours

flowers whisper
praise that lifts the spirit
three silken strokes

yellow flowers
roses, daisies, carnations
puffs of harmony

coups de satisfaction

les roses et les oeuillets

sudden cloudburst
innocence surrenders
wind’s casualty
When she was little, she would climb up into the tree with her sister and her cousin. They would imagine the branches had mini bananas.
such wonder
visions of faraway lands
child’s play
giraffes and elephants
and banana trees
morning sun
beams on nature’s gifts
fragrance grins

I was inspired by this beautiful photo from a post at Karuna Poole, my friend’s blog at LivingLearningandLettingGo here she shares a special morning in her garden.
Tranquil moments
Mother Nature’s morning
salutations
tranquil moments
wind whispers
new day
Mother Nature’s morning
wings stretch
tip to tip
salutations
honouring first dawn
the crow calls

floral carnival,
swell of the willow drapes
nature’s secret
summer reels
giggling youngsters play leap-frog
mountains’ faint echo

fireflies
torch light dancing to the
crickets chirp

dancing fairies
jive with glitter and glitz
nature’s make-believe
