in deep prayer
eyes closed in devotion –
Lotus starts to bloom
in deep prayer
a gust of wind blows away
my stress
eyes closed in devotion
the flowing music
of the river
Lotus starts to bloom
my kind
of baptism

after a warm day
a thin layer of fresh fallen snow
covers the garden
Indian Summer
inbetween seasons
roses bloom again

summer grass
covered with autumn leaves
early winter rain
summer grass
amorous crickets sing
summer sonata
covered with autumn leaves
caught in the meadow
the cool summer breeze
early winter rain
mark the hours of sorrow
here on Earth

daisies standing strong together

around the mansion
assembled constellations
brings me home again
daisies standing strong together
puppets on stiff green strings
revolt from its puppeteer
after the storm
quietness and peace
finally found

blue autumn skies
folded into mountains

such a hot day
my shadow needs to cool down
under the willow
© Kyoshi Takahama (1874-1958)
such a hot day
denizens of shadows
below the tree
such a hot day
cherry blossoms falling
in lieu of sweat
denizens of shadows
lovers frolic
dreamy noon tryst
below the tree
ravenous fiends
pluck dehydrated worms

depth of a flower
flying away with the bee
some mystery
© Jane Reichhold (1937-2016)
depth of a flower
gold radiance in the dark
attracts admirers
flying away with the bee
flower-fed hummingbirds
with such swiftness
some mystery
sun illuminated blossoms
here on earth

Response to Carpe Diem #1711 flowers (modern kigo) – Troiku
bathed in sun colors
every blossom on the tree
becomes shining stars
bathed in sun colors
fantastical creatures
under white blossoms
every blossom on the tree
punctuates darkness
the white shines brightly
becoming shining stars
blooming cherry trees
twinkling beyond the dawn

Response to Carpe Diem #1705 enjoyment … a modern summer kigo
after the summer heat
raindrops kissing my naked body
Ah! that coolness
Chèvrefeuille
after the summer heat
secret lovers
float side by side in sleep
raindrops kissing my naked body
I sleep alone in my bed of tears
whispering love poems to myself
Ah! that coolness
omen of an impending storm
the world goes strangely calm

the snow of yesterday
that fell like cherry blossoms
is water once again
© Gozan (1789)
the snow of yesterday
an involuntary metamorphosis
in spring coldness
that fell like cherry blossoms
just a hint of pink
dot the carpet of grass
is water once again
seeds the earth with its beauty
endlessly flowing

Response to Carpe Diem #1691 Troiku Month (20) The Snow Of Yesterday
with the moon
night too disappears
into the ocean
© Jane Reichhold (1937-2016)
with the moon
in the twilight –
light and shadow
night too disappears
merely transformed –
light and shadow
into the ocean
the sea waves will swallow them –
light and shadow

butterfly collective
in a spring meadow
crumbles like ash
butterfly collective
hang from cherry branches
like silky blossoms
in a spring meadow
where a thousand butterflies dance –
gossamer-winged ballerinas
crumbles like ash –
a thousand butterflies
in a gaudy pile
