spring rain

young leaves give shelter

first snow fall
sparrows wait in pine trees
until blue sky returns

path

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

old house

who were the people living here
only violets remain

When I read this Haiku by Issa, I was reminded of an old abandoned house not far from where I live.

rotting wood
empty house slowly crumbles
memories linger
