au revoir feuillage
repose bien verdure
accueillant l’hiver

l’arrivé du froid
le charme des glaçons bijoux
flocons émerveillent

****

farewell foliage
rest well verdure
welcome winter

advent of cold
magic of icicle gems
snowflake enchantments

lovers bathe in sheer bliss
honey to a bumblebee
as the sun sets

strokes of beauty
sensual and lush overflow
colours of paradise

rooftop serenade
bowing at sun kissed skyline
gently slips away

scraped knee
tumbling down the stairs
mom kissed the boo boo

swathed in duvet
sips hot cocoa with whipped cream
cat purrs

rooftop serenade
woes melt beneath horizon
I exhale

snail munchies (haibun)

My childhood friend used to collect her eggshells starting in March up to May. She would crunch them into tiny pieces and put them in her flower beds to prevent snails from crawling in her garden. If they crawled too quickly (I doubt there’s a chance of that) or not cautiously, the eggshells would cut them. Ouch!! Poor little critters. Before you start feeling all sad about this, I just discovered they enjoy eating the eggshells, it is filled with calcium just perfect for their shells, like the photo above.  I wonder if my friend knew that part.

 These two shots were taken on my way to my mother’s place last November. I stopped my car on the highway to take a shot on my left, this is the moon and on my right the sun was setting in splendour…cold evening but stayed out long enough to get a few shots.

Early moon rise
salutes shimmering star

A slight change to place “through” at the last line. Thank you, Kristjaan:) It flows smoothly.
