Done for Carpe Diem and Haiku My Heart
Butterfly
rustling silk
among the lilies
the dance of a butterfly

Done for Carpe Diem. A Troiku based on Basho’s haiku below:
butterflies and birds
restlessly they rise up
a cloud of flowers
©Basho (Tr. Jane Reichhold)
butterflies and birds
on an exchange of colours
bright autumn morning
==
restlessly they rise up
in kaleidoscopic hues
these plumes of feathers
==
a cloud of flowers
rising above the dust
dance of peacocks

Done for Carpe Diem Tan Renga challenge. And also for Recuerda Mi Corazon. We are to complete Shoha’s (1727-1772) haiku below with our own inspiration two of lines (preferably of 7-7 syllable each)
at the wagon’s approach,
out from the grass
flies the butterfly
Mine
dew droplets glitter on wings
drizzle sprays the morning walk

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:
