Carpe Diem Haiku KAI

Rainbow

Carpe Diem haiku Kai: Sunday Time Challenge #2: rainbow

weeding the garden
foreboding afternoon sky
graced with a rainbow

~~~~~~~~~~~~

misstep in puddle
a rainbow swirls and clings
to my new boots

Sunday morning
my grandchild ask me to sew
a rainbow tie

~~~~~~~~~~~~

quiet evening
through bare branches
a pale rainbow


early evening
three fish swim though
rainbow on my floor

Returning to Normal

cautious journey
meeting newest grandson
ten months late 

summertime journey
obscure paths explored
still social distancing

Mist Clouds

Carpe Diem #1843 Troiku Challenge 1: Mist Clouds

roaring down the beach
at the height of winter waves
mist clouds

roaring down the beach
tufts of white foam
flapping in the wind

at the height of winter waves
surfers gearing up to catch
wind fetch gracing coast

mist clouds
ramble the rock face
heightening the surge

Hoarfrost -Troiku

fragile beauty
cranberries covered with sugar
first hoarfrost                  © Chèvrefeuille

fragile beauty
windows glazed over
crystal frost feather

cranberries covered with sugar
garnish rich cake tops
abet temptation 

first hoarfrost
crying kitten wakes household
to winter wonderland

Unconditional Love

Gathering flowers

gathering flowers
unexpected guests
come to dinner

gathering flowers
walk in spring woods
arousing appetite

unexpected guests
arrive early afternoon
crawl across table

come to dinner
enjoy natures beauties
watch out for chiggers

the aroma of pine
and the young morning’s fresh rain
reach my words
© Hamish “Managua” Gunn (Taken from “Shinrin Yoku, the art of forest bathing”)

the aroma of pine
fills up the senses
stirring desires

and the young morning’s fresh rain
breathing new life
into parched earth

reach my words
water of imagination
life in barren fields

Kite

Carpe Diem #1641 a modern kigo … kite
 

 

large trash bag and yarn
brother and I race down street
wishing for real kite
