“Decompose” by zaldy icaonapo
Fragile petals
falls, dancing
in the light shadows;
hiding thorns within.
Deception lingers
in the corner
of her smiling lips,
playing with your soul.

Indian Fort
Carpe Diem #850 Tsengel (volcano)
This volcano named Tsengel Hairhan means "delight holy mountain" in Mongolian. As I looked at pictures of beautiful world around the Altai Mountains I thought of the Pinnacles Of Indian Fort Mountain. These are beautiful mountains in Berea, Kentucky where we hiked as children. This picture was taken just before my brother was diagnosed with leukemia in 1978. It’s not a great shot but it is full of wonderful memories.
Here is a video I found that will take you on a sweat free trip through some of the beauty to be found at Indian .Fort

Cor van den Heuvel's Poetry
Carpe Diem Special #177 Cor van den Heuvel's "a tide pool", three favorite haiku
Cor van den Heuvel's Haiku
Cor van den Heuvel's Haiku
a drop of water
floats by the canoe
on a curled leaf
neon puddles
in front of the waterfront bar
sound of a blues
on the bathroom hamper
morning sunlight fills the sails
of a toy boat
the rusted paperclip
has stained my old poem
wind in the eaves
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After reading Cor van den Heuve's poetry I had a hard time choosing favorites. I choose the poems above for how they capture the simplicity of everyday life and wrap it in beauty. All yesterday evening I thought about ordinary things and finding that spark of interest. So today, I have been on a roll and written over 30 poems, mostly haiku. ( Don’t worry Hamish I will not post them all here, besides I don't want to be in competition with Cor van den Heuvel's wonderful poems.)
my old poem found-
yellowed paper creased and worn
memories and ink fade
through the curtain
afternoon sunlight flowers
damp laundry

Autumn Lake
light of the full moon
shines through colored leaves

echo of migrating geese
fades with the sunset

Autumn Moon
autumn moon shines
on amber wheat field
creating golden cast
~~~
Autumn moon falls
between winter and summer
painting the sky
~~~
orb spider sits
poised on zigzag of new web
shining in moonlight
on amber wheat field
creating golden cast

Autumn moon falls
between winter and summer

poised on zigzag of new web

Past
Haiku Horizons prompt "past"
on a moonlit night
a shadow goes past the moon
a screech owl searching
~~~
in the garden
past the rusty trellis
a wrens nest
~~~
indian summer
I think of our brief past
slipping away

Nap
muggy afternoon
the cicada stops
humming
for a nap
for a nap
~~~
humid afternoon
rocking in his chair
grandpa nods off
~~~
lazy afternoon
summer sounds
lull me sleep
summer sounds
lull me sleep
