Carpe Diem #1066 beach
inland farmer
dreams of sandy beaches
mud between his toes
Carpe Diem Special #220 Orion, a haibun by Dolores Fegan
~
When you live in cloudy Western Pennsylvania you think you’ve seen a sky full of stars, but you haven’t. It was on a trip to the high desert of Arizona that I saw the true wonder of a clear night with no pollution from shopping malls and street lights. A magnificent show that covered the sky from edge to edge.

blanket of clouds
removed from the night sky
thousand points of light

yellow leaves
falling to the ground
one flys away
Carpe Diem #1054 Summer Solstice

shadows lengthen
slowly into evening
summer solstice

after the rain
puddles left behind
undisturbed
Carpe Diem Special #218 Dolores’ 2nd “dreaming of spring”

yellow school bus
rumbling down the street
small faces framed
behind the square windows
longing for summer days
Carpe Diem #1050 blossoms
love words blossom
as ink flows on the page
her pen scratches
Carpe Diem #1034 “let the rain kiss you”
[…] “Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.” […] Langston Hughes

inside my small tent
ancient melodies recalled
rain taps a sweet song
Carpe Diem #1030 “path”

abandoned temple
crumbled stones along the path
only weeds remain
