Carpe Diem Haiku No. 905 Throw That Pebble No. 3 drinking tea


Fire at the tea hut
Tokonoma with frost flowers
Steam from the tea bowl

Stars still flickering
The tea pot starts simmering
Bubbles are stars now

And an old favourite of mine:

Hut of no village (蕪村)
Surrounding banana plants (芭蕉)
Just in for one tea (一茶)
