Carpe Diem Haiku Special No. 185 Georgia's first "Autumn Reflections" (Troiku)


Some warm sunshine still
The geese aren’t ready to leave
Night colours the leaves


Some warm sunshine still
The squirrel happy with nuts
But golden leaves fall


The geese aren’t ready to leave
Paddling on the pond
Unaware of frost




Night colours the leaves
This brilliant foliage
Soon covers the ground

Carpe Diem Haiku Tokubetsudesu #63 Troiku (reprise)


butterflies and birds
restlessly they rise up
a cloud of flowers

Butterflies and birds
In between shadow and sun
The swaying bamboo

Restlessly they rise up
No scent of flowers
In the bamboo grove

A cloud of flowers
At the field borders
And grandpa waving

Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu No. 62 Troiku



Autumnal colours
Night refrains from falling down
Until the cricket stops


Autumnal colours
Peeking out of morning’s mists
Then rain starts falling

Night refrains from falling down
As sun’s still touching
The rippled lake with silver

Until the cricket stops
We leave the window open
Warm tea bowl in hands



Sorry for the long absence.
