Blue Moon
blue moon
sated with your iridescence
my hour of bewitchment

silent splinter
through the velvet darkness
a blue halo

Sunrise
endless skies
dreaming of the sunrise
atop Mt Fuji
2
bathed
in the glow of Mt Fuji
I’m one with the universe

Nap
midday nap
a bouquet of beads
her only cover
2
thatched eaves
her only cover
for a midday nap

the crackling wrinkles
of my mother

the valley’s drums
softly stirring the lilies

Done for Gilly and a A Prompt Each Day. Inspired by the following words and photo:
Humanity
shoreline
tracing my steps
where oceans meet clouds
2
entangled
I search for grain of truth
in emerald purity
3
unblemished waters
stray sands disappearing
into billowing waves
4
where the oceans meet the clouds
you and I
are one

Done for Carpe Diem.
Today’s episode of Tokubetsudesu is to write a soliloquy no renga, where one poet creates a series of haiku (no more than six) for a given theme or hokku and then concludes it by connecting it in a full circle to the hokku. Please visit Carpe Diem for more on this. I must add that this was quite a challenge in more ways than one. 🙂

Hokku
Ah! those cherry blossoms their beauty amazes me again – finally spring is here
© Chèvrefeuille
the season’s sprightly morning
puts a smile in my coffee
2
ah picture perfect
silver beads on pinkie buds
I am tickled pink
the sight of soft blooming spring
on a morning kissed by dew
3
blossoming cherries
scent weaves on gossamer wings
a first breath of spring
garlands adorning faint love
a reminder of rebirth
4
echoing kisses
resounding in soft petals
the coming of spring
a potpourri of colours
out in fiesta of love
5
ah, spring
blooming of cherry blossoms
in the cycle of re-birth

Done for Haiku Horizons. And for Carpe Diem. One of Adjei Agyei Baah’s Afriku is below is my inspiration today. I’m not sure I was able to do justice though. For more of his great works, please visit Carpe Diem and Afrikuland
ancient road…
the trails of the masters
absorbed in fallen leaves
Mine
ancient paths
his footsteps
swept by the stench of decay

Bridging
moon drizzle
a prelude
to the morning’s splinter
