Carpe Diem #1030 “path”
inspiration for today is from a very talented haiku poet
[…] “Ah…and then there’s the path, always the path, there, to concentrate on.. ” […] Hamish Managua Gunn

abandoned temple
crumbled stones along the path
only weeds remain
Carpe Diem #1029 – “felt with the heart”
this is the quote for inspiration in this episode of Carpe Diem:
[…] “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.” […] Hellen Keller
~
only her heart knows
the love he leaves behind –
noble warrior
At at Poetic Bloomings we’re trying out the Dodoitsu poetic form
First Date
I thought I saw you smiling
at me across the table
candles flickering between
us so I smiled back
This door survived the devastation of World War l battles in Ypres, Belgium. It is installed in the Flanders Field Museum there.

Fireblossom Friday – “Perchance to Dream”
it’s all about those night time dreams in the Garden
Web of Dreams
held to this earthly life
by filaments of spidered
dreams I spin through
layers of night each
a web of its own
chasing lions through burning buildings
trying to find a lost locker combination
wearing only my slip –
until the rising
sun breaks the spell
that kept me captive to the dark
Carpe Diem #1028 “sadness”
what a great quote as our inspiration –
[…] “Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.” […] Khalil Gibran
—
on the other side
flowers bloom with abandon
my garden weeps
At d’Verse Poets
Meeting the Bar – Form: Tanka
two ruby red lips
parted in a flirty smile
tease the tired farmer
shapely form comes after dark
courtesan of midnight dreams
Carpe Diem # 1027 “movement”
our inspirational quote for today:
[…] “Haiku is the poetry of nature and nature is always in motion. Seasons come and go, the moon changes every 28 days and so on, the only thing which is steady and without clear motion is our sun, that big star of our Milky Way around which the planets are rotating.” […] Chèvrefeuille, your host
~
shadows crawl
across the mountain peaks
following the sun
Carpe Diem # 1026 “smile”
the inspiration for our Haiku today:
[…] “Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.” […] Mother Teresa
~
the sky brightens
even on cloudy days
when children smile
