the blue sea
in waves smelling of saké
tonight's full moon

silhouetting the fishermen
lowering their sails

rainy season
sea glow lights held up
by the night watchman

slightly swaying the light
with his rain soaked arm

early summer rain
the green of a rock cypress
lasting how long

harvesting hydrangea leaves
  ama-cha for kan-butsu-e

still alive
under the slightness of my hat
enjoying the coolness

© Basho

sultry air heavy with the
racket of cicadas

on a bare branch
a crow settled down
autumn evening

first of chestnuts
clattered to the forest floor

logged tree
see the larger cut end is
a harvest moon

nightwatchman sits with
a cup of warm sake

neighborhood of colors

Carpe Diem #1263 neighborhood of colors After living for many decades in locations a little too monochrome in their occupants, I am pleased to be living in an apartment complex populated by a wide spectrum of colors and tones.  What joy to look up while on a walk to see someone who looks nothing like a 70 year old white woman.  To see the young mother in her hijab walking with her children.  To hear the rhythm of a different language floating across the pool.  To see the sun set profiling the gay couple as they embrace.  Yes, I am loving this neighborhood of colors. jewels glisten at sunset ©    petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI

new ways

Carpe Diem Writing and Enjoying Haiku #6 new ways T his has been the year when Hubby and I along with a whole bunch of other folks celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary . We actually started the celebration back at the end of June, our actual 'date'.  It continued with a trip to France. Returning home we began working on The Party that was delayed till the grandsons returned from a summer in Canada. As we have friends our own ages, they, too, are celebrating 50 years.  That means more trips.  Unexpected strength of hurricane Harvey resulted in Hubby and I choosing to downsize even more.  And how do two people stay together for 50 years of marriage?  Well, forgiveness, understanding and a willingness to step together into the unknown of new ways. fifty years with the same man always something new keeps me guessing what's next? © petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI   ...
