CD: Crane At Work

Carpe Diem ~ Southard's "Widening Rings"

We are to write a new haiku inspired on this masterpiece by O. Mabson Southard in the same sense, tone and spirit:


a patter of rain ...
the lily-pad undulates
on widening rings

My inspired haiku:

crane at the ready
eyes his fish for dinner

frog hangs on for plunge

 

 

 

CD: Southard's "The Cry of a Loon"

Carpe Diem Special #57

Write an all new haiku inspired by the following one by Southard and try to write in the same tone, sense and spirit:

across the still lake
through up curls of morning mist -
the cry of a loon

My inspired haiku: 

in the still of night

through creeping fog of the swamp

the howl of a wolf

 

CD: O. Mabson Southard's "Releases the Moon"

Carpe Diem Special #56

We are to write a haiku in the same tone and spirit as this one written by O. Mabson Southard:




In the garden pool,
dark and still, a steppingstone 
releases the moon.

My inspired haiku:

a croaking bullfrog

in the moonlit garden pool

singing to no one
