bare feet

Tokubetsudetsu # 86 – Back in Time
“Only the first line”

with bare feet
harvested grain is threshed
on bamboo mats

full circle

Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu #84 Back in Time
“Carpe Diem full circle”

summer shower
princess gems left behind
droplets on willow

desert oasis
only palm trees cast shadows
relief for camels

III

silent cruise ship
ocean foams white like snow
rainbow follows

yellow fluttering
in lines above the shrine
prayer flags

Carpe Diem Trokubetsudesu #74

~
new moon
takes a deep breath
earth responds

Carpe Diem Trokubetsudesu #73 – pi-ku
Use the first six numbers of pi for the syllable count in a pi-ku
A fun challenge indeed.

~
loud cawing
crows
in a bare tree
try
chasing a large hawk
with noise and flapping of deep black wings

under the moon
an owl flies through branches
in silence

Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu #68 d.t.hasse’s “inviting silence”

A Pair of Shoes (painting by Van Gogh – 1886)

tattered boots
tramped through fields of war
weary soldier

Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu # 67 – Van Gogh’s shoes

scruffy stray cat
slinking through the tall grass
song birds scatter

Tokubetsudesu #65 – combining animals and seasons

thanks to Sara for this prompt

small brown spider
spinning a silken thread
sways in the breeze

Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu # 64 Beyond “movement”

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
