Carpe Diem Crossroads #13 chilly coolness
two haiku to work with:

chilly coolness
my feet on the wall
for a midday nap

the color of wind
planted artlessly
in a garden of reeds

© Matsuo Basho (Tr. Jane Reichhold)

colorful wind
afternoon serenade
flowers sway along

 

colorful wind
twirling all the linen
this wash day

afternoon serenade
resting in the oak’s shade
feet dangling in brook

flowers sway along
as the air is stirred
by working women
