composers
nocturnal weavers
produce silky finespun sheet(s)
between midnight and twilight
katauta
throughout the night
nocturnal creatures observe
harmonious choir
producing a faint tune
weaving sheet(s) of secrecy
tanka
swollen charcoal clouds
dispenses dissonant notes
on silk sheets
green leaves dancing in the wind
produced by nightly workmen

functionality
intricate web
fated to oblivion
carried off by bitter winds
and
luminous silk sheet
trembles against
gusting winds
haiku
and
ingenious designers
weave elaborate veil
that shifts softly
catchings fine tears
departed from heaven

adversity (day -17)
versatile mantis
tenaciously clinging to
a thousand raindrops
amongst summer leaves and grass
balmy winds of change blow by

pink oblivion
ambitious climber
with self-determined footwork
lands in stringy bloom
blue worlds
ethereal specter
sleeps within oceanic bedding –
blue dreamings
haiku
complete
2018 concludes
last water-lily
has fully bloomed
haiku
lost and found
childhood imagings
discarded summer tokens
suspended in autumn winds
or
childhood fantasies
suspended with summer winds
and lost snowy white feathers
katauta
happily gathered
abandoned snowy feathers
crafted shades of blue
exaggerated brown string…
forge worldly doorway for dreams
tanka
Response to Carpe Diem #1486 Dreams … will become true
fragrant memories
strolling gently down the stream
wet leaves shine
transcending through thick darkness
arriving at a new world
tanka
copper memories
fading away
with summer leaves
haiku #1
watching leafy dancers –
better yesterdays
remembered
haiku #2
Response to Carpe Diem #1485 creating memories
persistence (day -16)
agile red lady
surmounts green impediments
with thousands raindrops
striving towards twinkling stars
lolled in sea of sweet senses
tanka
Response to Carpe Diem Summer Retreat 2018 Finding The Way
sleeping
slumbering captain
riding ruby leather deck
catches fishy dreams
