along the horizon
a dust cloud rises and swoops
a strange bird of prey
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
Hopefully this is the return of regular postings at Carpe Diem. Playing catch up since I was not aware Kristjaan was posting again.

with the dawn a fallen oak
cry of a new grandchild

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Weekend Meditation #100: waves of love
sleepless night
dark shadows mock the moon
shivering with cold
suddenly warm arms reach out
waves of love enfolding me

smoldering rubble
all the crazies
spread conspiracies

among the fresh laid pebbles
sunflowers sprout
Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Celebrates Its 9th Anniversary: #1850 dried grass

my dream goes wandering

~~~
Pandemic lockdown
hospice patients pass
without witness
Autumn walk
decapitated mushrooms
line the path
~~~
Unending rain
Black spot and root rot
Embrace the garden
~~~
Autumn cold
my thoughts swimming
in lemon tea
~~~
Changing seasons
another leave released
to the wind
~~~
autumn tears
an oak tree drowns
in a mushroom cap
~~~
Pandemic scare
my dreams mired
in stagnant pool
~~~
Autumn prayers
a monarch Butterfly lands
on my outstretched hand
Carpe Diem #1846 Trying to restart again
wet spring
discarding drown plants
setting new seedlings
replacing flowers
by the cold wet stone
spring hatchlings chirp
tears dried, visits lessen
conversation growing thin
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
