Beyond Movement

Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu #64 Beyond “movement”

 

moonlight kisses
the cresting waves
calling me

~~~

in the early dawn
the crackle of frosted leaves
breaking the stillness

joy of living

Carpe Diem #891 joy of living

 

walking under
a shinny new star
your hand warm

 

~~~

 

first snow
the dark eyed junco
merrily feasting

 

 

the crescent moon shines
silver light upon my pillow
next to me you dream

Less Cold

Carpe Diem #890 Shoukan (less cold)

first snow
a powdery dusting
in dawns first light

 

~~~~~

blustery morning
puffed up barn cats
still shy away

first snow
pileated woodpecker
silently hunts

 

Desire for Spring

Carpe Diem #889 desire for spring

Today in my garden amongst the dried leaves and plants two flowers were still in bloom.

winter afternoon
blue pincushion flower
clings to summer

 

 

 

First Light of Sun

Carpe Diem #888 Hatsuhikari (first light of the sun)

The new year was herald in with spring blossoms instead of snow.  We had unseasonably warm weather, a cold snap and frost and now I have pink blossoms on one of my bushes.

in the sun’s first light
against the winter sky
pink blossoms

 

Stroll in the Fog

Carpe Diem Special #189 Georgia’s 5th strolling yesterday (tanka)

a stroll through the fog
pine trees dressed in spiderwebs
decked in pearls of dew
a large snail speeds slowly
down the center of the path
