coffee break

Carpe Diem #1481 Coffee Break found on Tumblr In the small farming community near my Hubby's home town coffee was served year round.  I was befuddled by this as I was from the 'iced sweet tea' drinking south.  Never did I see coffee served to the field hands during summer months, always water with that huge chunk of ice.  When I asked Uncle Pete why they drank coffee instead of a cool drink his answer was quick.   "A hot drink makes it feel cooler outside." that aroma floating on the summer breeze signals break time ©    petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI

Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #40 Troiku Challenge "a distant mountain" " ...For this Troiku Challenge I have chosen two haiku by Takahama Kyoshi (1874–1959) to work with. Kyoshi is not a renown haiku poet, but he has written wonderful haiku. (You can find more of his haiku  HERE ). a distant mountain seen in the sunlight: a desolate field a leaf of a paulownia tree has fallen in the sunlight © Takahama Kyoshi (Tr. Katsuya Hiromoto) Two nice haiku. Not easy to work with I think, but ... I think you can do it. Create a "fusion"-haiku from these two haiku and than create a Troiku with your "fusion"-haiku...." a small leaf held against the sunlight distant mountain view a small leaf    gently drifts across the           the sunrise against the sunlight     Orion moves unseen           sky hunter distant mountain     viewed from the desolate plane           gave hope ©    petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for dai
