CD: O. Mabson Southard's "chanting, the pond's frogs ..."

Carpe Diem Special #55

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



Chanting, the pond's frogs ...
among the lilies' dark pads -
the twinkle of stars

My inspired haiku:

the trees' cicadas

buzzing noisily above ~

the cycle of life

***

birdsong from above

hidden behind the green leaves

nature's orchestra

CD: Jane Reichhold's "Riversong"

Carpe Diem Special #48

 

We are to write a haiku in the same sense as the one penned by Jane Reichhold:

riversong
wind blown from autumn trees
a stream of gold

My inspired haiku:

wisteria vines
last green clinging to autumn

driftwood by springtime

CD: Half Year's End Festival (Nagoshi)

Carpe Diem #231 

end of hot summer

longer nights ~ cooler air

sweet welcome of fall

***

celebrate ~ purify
assess your chosen life path
is this the right road?
