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

Done for Carpe Diem. A Troiku based on Basho’s haiku below:

restlessly they rise up

a cloud of flowers

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
