Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Weekend Meditation #100: waves of love

 

teardrops fall
in the middle of the night
no more hope

  as the night weekens
  love dries all tears

    succumbing to sleep
    swaying in waves of love

Carpe Diem #1847 Renga With Jane Reichhold +++ Dancing Lights (Renga: Juunichoo)

desert sounds
out of the sun's way
clouds moving

steadily forward and away
but the sea stays and the surf

curving with the land
a rainbow of clouds
moves out to sea

a seagull diving
a swimmer emerging

dancing lights
clouds sprinkle the sun
across water

a thousand silver mirrors
the silhouette of a boat

morning downpour
raised to new heights
afternoon clouds

the lyme grass glissens
the beach sand is cool and firm

beach tent billows
in the summer blue
white clouds

the cry of the seagull
arrives with the wind

clouds
colored by open wall
a driftwood lair

bleached wooden bones
and the desert falls silent

Carpe Diem Haiku Tan Renga Challenge No. 99 raindrops on bamboo

raindrops on bamboo

shimmer in the sunlight

little diamonds

© Chèvrefeuille

I’ve written two stanzas for Chèvrefeuille’s haiku.

Wind approaches suddenly

Gone is the thief with riches

And then they all disappear

The bamboo nods in beauty

ubazakura   saku ya rogo no   omoiide

the old-lady cherry

in bloom: a remembrance
of her old age

Spring will bring back youth to her

So happy in that pink dress

Listening to granny’s tale

As pink petals fill the air

Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge Cherry Blossoms fall by Shirao

Here is the haiku, the first stanza, by Shirao:

hito koishi hitoboshi koro wo sakura chiru

yearning fills my heart

when the candles are lit;

Cherry blossoms fall“

i. 

Still radiant in colour

Perishing to be reborn

ii. 

Sudden darkness enlightens

Mind becomes an empty cup

Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge Month #VIII, MMT's ''even candent days''

 

even candent days

cannot drive the willow leaves

from their homing place

Magical Mystery Teacher

silence is called golden

leaves fall silently

the wind talks loud and louder

but leaves keep their silence

http://chevrefeuillescarpediem.blogspot.de/

PS. Will be on vacation during the next weeks, most probably the last entry before returning from New Zealand.

Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Month #V, Sara McNulty's "Life completes circle''

 

life completes circle

at the end of the journey

death draws the last line

Sara McNulty

gloomy words on epitaph

butterflies fly by and rest

between abodes of death

a creeper finds place to bloom

Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge Month #III "morning shimmer" by Bjorn Rudberg

morning shimmer

dew frosting on furze

a single leaf falls

Björn Brudberg

a yellow remnant of spring

while the furze is shivering

Carpe Diem Haiku Tan Renga „Cricket Silence“

cricket silence

between scraping sounds

autumn begins                                   (Jane Reichhold)

coloured foliage falling

each bearing written wishes

a light rain leaves damp the leaves

night will start with wafts of mists

harvest fires are burning

reminiscing idle times

Carpe Diem Haiku Tan Renga Challenge, Buson's "In the stillness"

in the stillness

between the arrival of guests
the peonies

(Yosa Buson, 1716-1783)

pink peonie in the wind

moves like a ballet dancer

in the stillness
between the arrival of guests
the peonies

(Yosa Buson, 1716-1783)

not longing for kaiseki

not drinking tea but water

in the stillness
between the arrival of guests
the peonies

(Yosa Buson, 1716-1783)

while frangrant air is wafting

they hum the wind’s lullaby

Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge, Basho's famous 'the old pond'

the old pond

a frog jumps in

the sound of water

(Matsuo Basho, 1644-1694)

Lilies closing their buds

Moon to keep his watch round

the old pond

a frog jumps in
the sound of water

(Matsuo Basho, 1644-1694)

Wind caresses the pine trees

Perfect for a cup of tea

the old pond

a frog jumps in

the sound of water

(Matsuo Basho, 1644-1694)

My shoes are in the old pond

Have to move on – on frog feet

Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge #3 "the rainy season"

the rainy season

a paper lantern in hand

I walk along the verandah

(Buson)

closing doors and shutters

water gushing inside

the rainy season

a paper lantern in hand

I walk along the verandah

(Buson)

listening to rain on tiles

and a feeble cricket
