dark clouds
passing overhead
flock of birds

Carpe Diem #933 – Rain
In the Way of Basho

morning frost
footprints leave a trail

In the Way of Basho

tiny minnows
swim under the bridge
I cross over

At Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, Chevrefeuille has challenged us to crate a Troiku
from one of Basho’s haiku

butterflies and birds
restlessly they rise up
a cloud of flowers

———

butterflies and birds
soar on gentle summer breeze
paint pale blue sky

restlessly they rise up
flocks of shiny black starlings
flying to warmer skies

a cloud of flowers
heavenly plum blossoms
above my head

heavy sunflowers
leaning shakily toward earth
like drunken sailors
