Carpe Diem: Shasei

Tags

Beauty, Masaoka Shiki, Moon, Nature, Shasei, stars, writing technique

On Monday night, there was a full moon. Made more glowing was the fact that we were in darkness as we had no power. Our house was bathed in an utter glitter. My third boy said ‘mummy the moon is beautiful.’ He loves animals and now am I surprised he  appreciates nature? 🙂 I could only nod, stunned at the spectacle.

The next day, I woke up at 4.30 am to get us all ready for school and work. And then I saw the reflection  in my window.  When I looked out and up, I saw them; two lone stars, one bigger, and yes twinkling, in place of the full moon. I’ve remained speechless until now. 🙂

And this for Carpe Diem prompt, Shasei (saying it as it is)

Twinkling Stars

at break of dawn

in place of the full moon

can dim all that sparkle

My dear friend, Adjei Agyei Baah also from Ghana asked me to publish his haiku submission to CDHK on my blog for the pleasure of fellow bloggers. And so here it is: 🙂

The Final Small Stone

Tags

Appreciation, Beauty

Finally the Mindful Writing Challenge, has come to a glorious end today. It has been quite an uplifting task posting these Stones every day, although I am not too sure I was so mindful and observant of everyday things around me to write about. I must say that it has been also exhausting and quite glad it is over. 🙂 There I’ve said it!

But then I leave you with this simple Haiku to ponder over. God bless you all for bearing with me throughout the Stoney journey. 🙂 Your wonderful feedback and beautiful comments made a mark where it counted the most, my heart. 🙂

Beautiful Stone

Much beauty abound

‘Neath the small and ugliest Stone 

If only we look
