Dear friends, it’s been a while now. I’ve missed you all but life got it in the way with so much pressure at work and other things I got myself involved in.:-) This is to let you know that I’m alive and well. I will go on break for the Christmas and rest small as we say here. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year. Sincerely thanking all who bought my books. I’m most grateful. 🙂 God bless you all. 🙂

Sand Dunes

where the horizon

overshadows the sand dunes

he leaves me in tears

Carpe Diem: Branding

20 Thursday Aug 2015

Posted by readinpleasure in Carpe Diem, Challenges, Haiku, Poetry

≈ 21 Comments

Tags

branches, branding, Chiyo-Ni, Emotions, marriage, Persimmon, sex, tears

Done for Carpe Diem. And for Gilly

Inspired by Chiyo-Ni’s haiku and Gilly’s photo below to write mine. Chiyo-Ni’s haiku, poignant because it expressed her concerns on making love for the first time on her wedding night, appealed to me.

will it be bitter or not
the first time I pick
a persimmon
