Carpe Diem’s Oborozuki (hazy moon)

As you all know I have a daily haiku meme weblog at Google’s called ‘Carpe Diem’. On that weblog I give an every day prompt. This month the daily prompts are all Classical Japanese Kigo (seasonwords) and today Oborozuki (hazy moon) is the prompt.
I have already read wonderfully composed haiku on this prompt and I love to share here another haiku written by myself.

cherry blossoms bloom
in the light of the hazy moon
looking mysterious

looking mysterious
in the twilight light of the hazy moon
blooming cherry trees

Well … what do you think? I love this set … I love that mysterious sight of the cherry blossoms in vague light of the hazy moon, looks somewhat like that the blossoms are hiding behind the veil.

behind the veil
of the midnight light of the hazy moon
hides cherry blossom

Awesome!

See you another day … Namaste …

 

Carpe Diem’s full snow moon

Dear visitors and friends,

Another post in the series of Carpe Diem, the daily haiku meme by Chèvrefeuille (my Alter Ego). Today it’s February 25th and the moon is full. The full moon of February is called ‘full snow moon’. The name refers to the snow which falls a lot in February. Here in my country (The Netherlands) we have snow, not a lot but it’s snow and as I see the clouds break and the full snow moon peeps through the veil … the world looks magical and mysterious. Really awesome.

through the veil
she, the full snow moon, peeps
at a mysterious world

deep indigo
strong overwhelming feelings
the full snow moon

Awesome … I feel so lucky and blessed that I may write haiku and host Carpe Diem.

Namaste

 

Carpe Diem Special #21, Chiyo-Ni’s Spring Rain

Dear followers and friends,

As you may know I am hosting on http://chevrefeuillescarpediem.blogspot.com a daily haiku meme. Every day I give another theme or prompt. Today the 21st Carpe Diem Special is on and that is a haiku written by Chiyo-Ni, a female haiku master, who lived in the 18th century. This haiku is:

harusame ya utsukushiu naru mono bakari

Spring rain
everything just grows
more beautiful

It’s a wonderful haiku in it’s choice of words, but also in the simplicity of the image, a real Chiyo-Ni.

I love to share the haiku which I wrote inspired on the one by Chiyo-Ni.

raindrops sparkle
in the early morning light -
a crystalline world

Well … what do you think? Is this one in the same tone and Spirit as the one by Chiyo-Ni?

Tackle It Tuesday, morning-dew

This week’s prompt for Tackle It Tuesday is ‘morning dew’. A nice theme I think certainly in this time of the year … Autumn. Early mornings when the is rising dew sprinkled on cobwebs. Awesome to see those fragile cobwebs shimmering with dew … when I see that I feel rich … al those chains of diamonds … really amazing.

diamond chains
hanging over the wooden fence
dew on the cobweb

dew on the cobweb
diamonds for the spider -
ah! what a richness

Awesome isn’t it?
