Carpe Diem, daydream, Ghana, Nature

I can’t imagine the last time I participated in the Carpe Diem Haiku Challenge. but today, I have been drawn to the blog of Kristjaan, the wonderful host, in celebration of the 8th Anniversary of the Challenge, this October 2020. I have truly missed reading Kristjaan’s works and that of the all the haijin. 🙂 I hope my offering captures today’s theme . 🙂

Done for Carpe Diem

Done for Carpe Diem. 

bursting through the mist

silver rays kiss the leaves

ah, the dew, the dew

Carpe Diem Prompt: write a haiku inspired by Jane Reichhold’s below:.

On heat she purrs

Bloom for me, my love
Beautifully sleek and pure
Bathe in lotus scents
