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

the season’s sprightly morning
puts a smile in my coffee

ah picture perfect
silver beads on pinkie buds
I am tickled pink
the sight of soft blooming spring
on a morning kissed by dew

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

Oh the fourth did it for me, between the “potpourri of colours” and the “fiesta of love” I cannot decide what I like best!

Such a joyous experience reading each one, Celestine, smiling in my coffee and potporuri of colours, adorning faint love…so many beautiful metaphors! there are moments I feel giddy reading this several time.
LOL, Oliana. 🙂 I get confused myself 🙂 Imagination runs wild sometimes.
Writing a longer series like this is like painting…we do lose track of time:)
Very true 🙂
