harvested grain is threshed

“Carpe Diem full circle”
I
summer shower
princess gems left behind
droplets on willow

desert oasis
only palm trees cast shadows
relief for camels

silent cruise ship
ocean foams white like snow
rainbow follows
IV
yellow fluttering
in lines above the shrine
prayer flags

new moon
takes a deep breath
earth responds
crows
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
silence
under the moon
an owl flies through branches
in silence

boots
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
animals and seasons
scruffy stray cat
slinking through the tall grass
song birds scatter

Tokubetsudesu #65 – combining animals and seasons
thanks to Sara for this prompt
beyond movement
small brown spider
spinning a silken thread
sways in the breeze

Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu # 64 Beyond “movement”
Troiku reprise
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
© Basho (Tr Jane Reichold)
———
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
