would we walk
in open fields in May
while wondering
~
love a mystery
sweet underbrush of thyme
always asking
~
sudden were your moves
me, naive in love, yet
able to forget
~
sunlight surreal
the fields, the open breeze
you, miles away, gone

Souls in Grace – Sparkling Stars # 19 – Haiku
© Donna J Thomas
In here I am speaking of a world I do not personally know, yet only can imagine. In time, though we, with knowledge of what is real may slowly strive to then appreciate change, and center our world with ‘love’
~
We did know her pain
witnesses of vacancy
in the Man that spoke
~
watch and learn and cry
for no other reason why
except to accept
~
time is a rule now
learned with years of sacrifice
these blues so sweet sing
~
when last we spoke you
suggested lies forgiven
yet still your eyes play
~
Society breathe
spark imagination wake
our proclivity
~
listen to passions
jazzy instrumental speak
loud cry on this love!
Carpe Diem Time Glass #20, A Frog Jumps In
`
When only a child we would play, our nets in hand, to chase the pond rewards – from tadpoles of spring, to jumpers in summer, the murky deep of a run-off pond we knew the danger. Down on our knees, we thought of snorkel to intrude upon the world beyond pond’s edge. His tiny feet disappear slow while I wait …
Peer my way you know
The glass now contains my friend
lily pad water
Carpe Diem Haiku Kai #665 (Sunset over the harbor)
while wilderness winds
last remnants of sunlit sky
water glass welcome
~
a long gravel walk
road will stretch into the night
soul see sun streaked sky
~
wafting in harbor
night lights begin their sojourn
after dark we play
~
when today we cried
now watch evening shade appear
watch over our lives
Sweet Serenity – Carpe Diem’s Kamishibai #10, “departing summer”
crickets in quiet
speak to shelter in august

~
cottage love alive
we step into our habits
sweet delightful dreams
~
now our time is soft
we will go on to new roads
sunlight fades pavement

This week Carpe Diem Tan Renga inspiration is a beautiful haiku by a poet Sho-u. Our goal is to add a second stanza to it.
in the centre,
mount Fuji towers up:
spring in our country

in Nature’s grasp we evolve
