Puddles

Carpe Diem #965 puddles

rainy and alone
I jump in a puddle

someone smiles

other students join in
new friendships made

Run

Haiku Horizon's : Run

racing barefoot

across the fields

windblown kisses

~~~

holding a red string

running down the street

garbage bag kite

brother laughs

trying to keep up

No Reprieve

Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu #76 Celestine, our "runner-up" of the "time"-kukai in the spotlight

under the shade

of a thorny tree -

no reprieve from sky

Double Meanings

Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille April 20th 2016

Challenge -words that sound similar but have a different meaning.

steppes/ steps

before us

these endless steppes
leading nowhere

~~~

night/knight

silently
the night
falls

~~~

morning/mourning

waiting -
this endless morning
will it ever pass

~~~

flocks/ phlox

the hillside
covered  in
white flocks

~~~

sail/sale

after the sail -
wind blows
us home

~~~

sun/son

glorious sun
rises quickly -
such a gem

Stars

Carpe Diem #956 Stars

in the dark of night
one star alone shines
keeping company

~~~

Regulus captured outside
 my window
in the maple tree

~~~

beyond the yard
the heavens dotted -
dandelion fields

One

Haiku Horizons - prompt "one"

the entire world

contained in one moment

pure joy

~~~

within one seed

a whole new world

of life

Friendship

for heeding haiku with HA: friendship

What I've learned is that friendships don't have to last long, to leave a lifetime of impression.

sharing laughter
when everything’s going wrong
tears turn to joy

KINDRED PASSION

The attraction subtle,
like cat hair on fresh laundry.
Drawn together;
strangers
with kindred spirits.
Sharing briefly
a passion for poetry.
Leaving
a lifetime impression.

1996
