Autumn, Basho, Birds, butterfly, colours, dance, feathers, Nature, peacocks

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

butterfly, Dew, Drizzle, grass, Nature, Shoha

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

Tan Renga

at the wagon’s approach

out from the grass

flies the butterfly

dew droplets glitter on wings

drizzle sprays the morning walk

Haiku My Heart: Drizzle

butterfly, Drizzle, Ghana, morning walk, weather

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:

Drizzle

flurry of drizzle
a glistening butterfly
morning walk
 
 
 (2) morning walk
flurry of drizzle
homeless butterfly
