CD : 532 movement

http://chevrefeuillescarpediem.blogspot.com/2014/08/carpe-diem-532-movement.html

Khalil Gibran,

[...] "We measure time according to the movement of countless suns;

and they measure time by little machines in their little pockets.

Now tell me, how could we ever meet at the same place at the same time?" [...]

time is:

the flapping of wings

set free from the net to go

exploring safer ground

the unknown moment

of a baby mole, catches

sunlight near the creek

bag of tomatoes

waiting left on the door knob

base of homemade soup

Note these haiku are about the usage of time,

drawn from this much longer post of mine;

What we do...

CD: 531 sweetness

Khalil Gibran.

[...] "It was but yesterday I thought myself a fragment

quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life.

Now I know that I am the sphere, and all life in rhythmic

fragments moves within me'''. [...]

golden honey drips

from the spoon to strawberries;

tasting my summer

double rainbow

arches across stormy sky

time to count blessings                             (Ese)

the joy and laughter of my kids

resonates at the family barbeque               (Chèvrefeuille)

double rainbow

arches across stormy sky

(Ese)                                     time to count blessings

just before take-off - larger

***********

Note: I think it is wondrous sometimes how we are in the right place at the right time.

A few years ago - right over our little local airport a full half circle double rainbow.

People were pulling off the road to take photos with their cell phones.

I didn’t have a cell phone at the time or have a camera with me -

I did pull over and watched it for quite a long time before it finally faded.

I have through the years been inspired to write several pieces about that

wonderful complete half circle double rainbow!

CD : 530 mist : what a find?

CD-530-mist.

[ ...] Once I filled my hand with mist. Then I opened it, and look, the mist was a worm. And I closed and opened my hand again, and behold there was a bird. And again I closed and opened my hand, and in its hollow stood a man with a sad face turned upward. And again I closed my hand, and when I opened it, there was nothing but mist. But I heard a song of exceeding sweetness.[...]

what a find?

at the charity

shop; a book and stamp set waits

“Fun with Hieroglyphs”

how could I pass this treasure?

a chance to play with drawn words

to travel in dreams

in the mists of the Nile

carving poems in stones

winged entertainment

cicada

lost in the willow

calls for friends

join me here

in the dusk of this fine night

watch glowbugs

glowbugs blink

in the grass, maples

and the pines

signaling

in the dusk of night, listen -

cicada

CD : haiku shuukan 16

CD haiku-shuukan-16-persimmon

difference-between-persimmon-pomegranate

(persimmon one pit like a peach, pomegranate has many seeds)  

a tale of two fruits:

yummy persimmon

mistaken identity

with pomegranate

two round fruits that begin with

the same alphabet letter

similar color

but so very different;

one pit or many

two round fruits that begin with

the same alphabet letter

a pomegranate

mistaken identity

with a persimmon

CD : 529 footprints

CD-529-foot-prints

I am forever walking upon these shores,

Betwixt the sand and the foam,

The high tide will erase my foot-prints,

And the wind will blow away the foam.

But the sea and the shore will remain

Forever.

© Khalil Gibran

there is much talking

about the footprints we leave;

the past and present

yet on the brief shore of life

will you remember the dance

natural rhythm of

each living thing uniting

reality’s dreams
