9.17 CD : 563 river

CD-563-river

Please do go to the link for leaps and bounds of

river inspiration and information.

I have actually taken inspiration from first photo marked ‘river’

(just after ...’it will be magical’) As I have seen an image there...

river-water-play series:

she rests on the bank

head tilted up, to the left

her hair and dress flow

on her left shoulder, a bird

perches, flute trilling softly

will they come to me

she can only hope - children

from the magic grove

to hear her fairy stories

unfold; charmed princess

wanting the secrets

of her silver laced icy

mountain gifted gown

does having a knack

mean I am full of myself ?

drawn page taunt with words...

mirroring bits of myself

most of which are left unread

neighbors’ tomatoes

once abundant, now have rot

snails enjoy last bites

is a late harvest - and it

is like a turnip

9-14 Sparkling Stars 5 : cache of crows

9.14 cache of crows

how unfortunate

for a cache of crows to be

known as a ‘murder’

and yet by some other folk

are treated with due respect

an autumn evening;

without a cry,

a crow passes

the moon reflects in the pond

this autumn evening - deep silence

the rustling of leaves

CD -goes-full-circle-3

Cheverfeuile says: It's a kind of word-whirl. Use (the word) ‘mirror’ for line one (1)

and ‘leaves’ for line two (2) and so on. If you follow the words clockwise then you

can compose four new haiku. 1. mirror, 2. leaves, 3. rain, 4. butterfly, 5. chrysanthemum,

6. breeze, 7. stars, 8. clouds,9. ocean, 10. daisies, 11. cow shed, 12. secret

haiku word-whirl: full circle #3

1

mirror in puddles

fallen leaves compete with sky

more rain predicted

2

butterfly searches -

finds spider chrysanthemum

with a helpful breeze

3

September stars share

the night sky with clouds hanging

above the ocean

4

daisies on the farm

grow by the cow shed and barn -

secret rendezvous

Symbolism associated with the daisy flower are purity, innocence, loyal love,

beauty, patience and simplicity. Daisies are believed to be more than 4,000

years old. Hairpins decorated with daisies were found during the excavation

of the Minoan Palace on the Island of Crete. Further back, Egyptian ceramics

were decorated with daisies.

CD: 559 morning dew

CD 559-morning-dew

Troiku is a haiku-form which Chèvrefeuille created several years

ago and it looks similar with the Russian Troika, a three horse sleigh.

The Sleigh is a haiku and with every line of that haiku, a new haiku

starts as being the three horses (lines) of the original haiku.

Troiku

the morning paper

the morning paper

in a plastic bag, lands on

the dawn of grasses

1

the morning paper

due to the news is often

left folded, unread

2

in a plastic bag

covered with September sighs

wrapped in sensation

3

the dawn of grasses

full of dew, the  birds look for

refreshment and worms
