KISS, Nature

On Carpe Diem Tan Renga, we are to complete the following haiku by the wonderful Wabi Sabi with your own two lines of 7-7 syllables each.

at sunrise
no words between lovers
just a kiss                                       Wabi’s
to bloom the morning glories             Mine
setting the garden ablaze
 
 
Tan Renga
 
at sunrise
no words between lovers
just a kiss  
to bloom the morning glories
setting the garden ablaze

butterfly, Drizzle, Ghana, morning walk, weather

Haiku for Recuerda Mi Corazon. I woke up to light drizzle that is characteristic of our weather pattern here especially around August-September. This is what my morning walk produced:

Drizzle

flurry of drizzle
a glistening butterfly
morning walk
 
 
 (2) morning walk
flurry of drizzle
homeless butterfly
