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

sunrise in the East (haibun)Photo ©Arianne & Sebastien

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.

hidden verses (tan renga)

Here is a lovely haiku created by poetess, Pat R aka  JazzyTowers at Thoughts and Entanglements we are to complete this hokku in this Tan Renga Challenge at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

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

Our mentor/host completed a stunning renga for this Tan Renga challenge:

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

Daily Moments – July 15/16 ~afternoon haze (troiku)

furit rests under the haze

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

infinite beauty 
in the eye of the beholder
just like love

old couple hold hands
shoppers see enduring love
they see their first love

Daily moments – July 13 2016 Joy haiku

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

a mother’s love
uplifts the spirit
to lend a hand

vulnerable souls troiku

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

like an old owl
taking in the world
sleepless night

daily moments July 12 2016 owl’s head haiku

remembering ash trees (Solo no Renga)

 

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

Daily Moments – silence of the night (troiku)

©Clr`16

quiet of the night
wrapped in solitude
dreams of long ago

quiet of the night
even the ash stands still
only a heartbeat

wrapped in solitude
tends to distance from reality
weight of unrest

dreams of long ago
fill her heart for a moment
lips curl up

Written for Haiku My Heart

The Troiku is a Haiku created by Chèvrefeuille at CarpeDiemHaikuKai
