Daily Moments Oct 16/16 – Sunday’s Best (Haibun)

Sunday stroll by the river just before sunset. She walks along the park alone; summer lovers have deserted their summer nest and still, she feels a tingle of life, romance and sheer beauty in the air.

beauty lingers (tanka art) photo by Paul Militaru

vibrant hues linger
autumn soon shades the earth
lapping each moment
darkness lurks in the shadows
barren and cold

semantics (haibun)

Late at night after she has arrived home and settled on her comfy couch, her bff (best feline friend) snuggles on the back of the couch near her neck. Such a lovely way to end her day. She wonders why on earth the English language chose “purring” to emulate the sound. Yes, definitely, she thinks to herself, the French word has coined the perfect match.

savourant le calme
bercée par son ronronnement
paupières s’alourdir

basking in stillness
lulled by her purring
eyelids weigh
