d’Verse Poets Pub – Quadrille #59 – Cycle
Kim is hosting at the Pub and she has our wheels spinning
~
Learning to Ride
Little legs pumping
Little face pouting
Little hands gripping
Trying to pedal her shiny
Pink three-wheeled bike
Little progress without a
Little help from Dad
Little hill she picks up speed
Big smile
Big giggles – she feels like a
Big girl riding a
Try-cycle
Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #36 “like Basho”

an old frog
meditating by the pond
like Basho
Carpe Diem’s Sparkle Of Joy … introduction and first “task”
~
swooping barn swallows
guarding nest of twigs and mud
farmer runs from field
Carpe Diem’s Crossroads #11 “a winter’s love”
torn apart clothes
thrown against a beach pole
a winter’s love
bare footed
wandering about the nude beach
in heart of winter

Here is my fusion haiku –

Clothes on a beach pole
Footprints leave a sandy trail
Lovers stroll away
d’Verse Poets Pub – Poetics: Getting Personal
–
Look Me in the Eyes
Blue-green eyes stare back at me
This true reflection of myself
They know me – show me
For who I am
Mostly hopeful, happy, smiling
Little crinkles creep out from
The corners – laugh lines
(not crows feet)
Sometimes pensive, tense(ive)
Even sad – without a sparkle to share
They’ve got the blues
Squinty, maybe flinty, just a hint
Of yellow flecks flash disapproval,
Or confusion – a simple warning-
If you know to notice
Everything about this me is held
Within these blue-green eyes
Staring out at you
Carpe Diem #1446 mandarin orange blossoms (hana tachibana)
~
wedding bells chime out
sweet scent of orange blossoms waft
the bride blushes pink
Quadrille #58 – Cobble us a Poem
~
A Cobbled Heart
Her tender heart was
Coming apart at the seams
(it seems)
He found some threads
Of truth to use
To mend the open places
Where trust was seeping out
And stitch by stitch he
Cobbled together the pieces
Until her heart was whole again
Carpe Diem #1445 cooling on the porch (hashi-i)
~
gentle morning breeze
porch swing slowly sways in time
peaceful start of day
Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #35 Troiku Challenge “summer solstice”
–
between the wedded rocks (*)
the sun rises to her highest throne
summer solstice
mountain stream
the ice has melted – dances in the sun
crystal waterdrops

This challenge was to creat a fusion haiku using the two haiku by Chevrefeuille, and then create a Troiku from the fusion we created. Here is my attempt.
–
melted water drops
dancing in the summer sun
crystal between rocks
~
melted water drops
trickle between the rocks
mountain stream
dancing in the summer sun
welcoming the solstice
wedded rocks
crystal between rocks
like hidden gemstones
melted ice
