Carpe Diem Special: Actors We all Are

26 Thursday Feb 2015

Life, performance, stage

Done for Carpe Diem. We are to write a tanka in the same mood and spirit as the one by renowned Haiku poetess, Fuyuko Tomita below:

Actors we all are, she said
mirrors to reflect
each other
We all leave the stage, she said
and left a smile in mine

Mine

in the shade of life

we play our roles in blurred weaves

mirroring ourselves

until final curtain call

when our shadows will dance on

Vision

through a film darkly

beyond gnarled branches and nests

void of hypnosis

gleaming expanse beckons me

I’m enthralled by this vision

Death, Greek Mythology, Helen of Troy, love, Poppies, war

Done for Carpe Diem. We are to complete Suzanne’s haiku below with our own lines of 7-7 syllables each.

red poppies of Troy
the blood of the fallen
bright on the grass 

Mine

mixed with the tears of Helen

fitting dish served by the gods

red poppies of Troy

the blood of the fallen

bright on the grass

mixed with Helen’s golden tears

fitting dish served to Paris
