Haiku: Nap

Penned for Carpe Diem


Nap

1
office nap
the timely intervention
of a mosquito

2
coming out
of a curtailed dream
office nap

3
finding comfort
in long a prayer–
church nap

Haiku: Lily

Penned for Carpe Diem


Lily

1
first rays
the desire to draw all there is
in your buds

2
lilies-of-the-valley
stuck to the mountainside
like ribbons

3
water lily–
wish our night ends
in thy bosom

Done for Carpe Diem



Strawberries
1
planting kisses
of strawberry breath
summer waves

2
filling her dimples
with strawberries
summer camp

3

two flavors
on our wild romance
vanilla & strawberry

Carpe Diem Challenge: “Ah! Those Cherry Blossoms

Penned for Carpe Diem
Today’s episode of Tokubetsudesu is to write a soliloquy no renga, where a poet creates a tread of haiku (not exceeding six) on a specified theme or hokku and then ends it by wrapping it pu in a full circle to the hokku.  Please visit Carpe Diem for details.

 
Hokku
Ah! those cherry blossoms
their beauty amazes me again –
finally spring is here

2
visitors bask in fragrance
of white confetti showers

3
 birds chirp in frenzy
as hearty chat fills benches
Cupid’s arrow flies by

4
busy hands penning haiku
as cameras seize the moment

5
the leaden skies add
  background to the artist’s pen
no need for abstract

6
 ah! cherry blossoming blast–
come take a white carpet walk!
