Stars

starry sky
melting shadows stroke
the summer night

cielo stellato-
ombre che si sciolgono accarezzano
la notte d’estate

The Cherita was created by al li. I’ve fallen in love with this lovely poetry form. And for each working day I shall endeavour to post a cherita a day on my blog. 🙂

Meteorite

gift from the gods

a sign really
that heaven is in my grasp 

cupping a star
in my palm
this fallen meteorite

Carpe Diem: Shasei

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. 🙂

Lone Stars

lone stars

remnants of the full moon’s

banquet

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

Twinkling Stars

at break of dawn

in place of the full moon

two twinkling stars

Haibun, Michael Dylan Welch, romance, stars

Done for Carpe Diem. We are to use Michael Dylan Welch’s haiku below to write a haibun of 75 words including a haiku.

one …

together we count

the falling stars

Haibun – Stars

Something about the night had me mesmerised. Perhaps it was the breeze, perfumed with scents of jasmine drifting from his garden next door. Or the stars sparkling in the velvet sky; one moment a few exploded in fireworks, blazing. One moment they fizzled into oblivion. I willed him to come out and be part of this magic.

Minutes later he was behind me on the lawn.

shooting stars
we find each other
in the magic
