again

carpe diem: ghost rider no 31, one of a kind
• • • •
tiny tender splashes
alight along a leaf
resting for awhile

a storm came in pouring rain …

kite

carpe diem: no 590 kite

earthbound believer
swept up into big blue sky
tethered by a string

rushing

wrapped in bound water
placed along river flow
solid rock sentinel

carpe diem: no 586 river stones

lighthouse

far distant point
anchored to the edge
constant presence

carp diem No 585 the lighthouse of Alexandria

waterfall.cd

tall lean evergreens
unexpected pinecones fall
cluttered canvas crash

carpe diem: no 443 ghost rider 4…. i was inspired by Soen Nakagawa ….. yesterday’s early spring day bloomed so lovely. it was a tease of summer warmth, the rush of a strong wind and the brush of evergreen trees in the air…. as I was gardening at a wonderful mad pace…first task of spring clearing out a million pine needles… I kept hearing these strange sounds…looked around nothing but pinecones littering the ground in an interesting array of landing here and there…. and just about that time plop one lands right next to me… looking up I saw all these pinecones waiting to fall…amazing to be here within a small evergreen forest along a river flowing amongst all these pinecones falling one by one…. all I could think of was a blank canvas and paint….woke up this morning… gone, not so much a paintbrush and canvas craving but haiku….
