Carpe Diem Special #49
Our challenge is to write a haiku inspired by one or both of the haiku penned by Jane Reichhold.
winter solstice
warmth of friends
return the sun
(c) Jane Reichhold
deep snow
the horse walks the paths
of summer
(c) Jane Reichhold
My inspired haiku:
chilled to the bone
adding wood to the fireplace
pipe dreams of summer
***
deep in the woods
walking through piles of leaves
scent of winter
i like the first one a lot
ReplyDeletesecond seems more in tune with the equinox

Love both these. I can smell the scent of winter. A memory of walks in an English woodland.
ReplyDeleteThe first fills me with a sense of futility and foreboding. Futility, because it seems that no matter how much wood is added to the fire, the one huddling in front of it will never get warm. Foreboding, because a prolonged chill is a harbinger of danger or death. (Gosh! I'm morose this morning, aren't I?)

We do tend to project our own feelings onto what we read. I was just trying to do warmth to summer. lol. But you have been in a place immersed in tragedy recently. You will get warm again.
Deletesensory rich, these poems are. Well done. I feel like I am there.
ReplyDeleteYou did well conjuring up winter. I wasn't able to at all! !
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just have to wait ;)
ReplyDeleteIn suburbia, it's hard to find piles of leaves to scuffle through, although I do remember doing so as a child in other places, other climes.
ReplyDeleteI've never gone deep into woods to walk in leaves. Just in my mind. Seemed like a cool thing to do.
