Week Four - Life Is Beautiful

Carpe Diem Winter Retreat 2017 : Life Is Beautiful 

Day 24


a glimpse of white
on a wet day in winter
hanging petticoat


Day 25




sky tinged with danger
another cyclone on its way
devastating beauty


Day 26















it's spring again
mr banana dreads
this time of year




 Day 27


 

 holocaust victim
 expresses his opinion
 on the snow

Day 28 

 

a coral garden
the home of sea creatures
being destroyed


 Day 29


 
 dancing in the rain
 childhood innocence
 precious time in  life



Day 30




cuddling under
his big soft velvety ear
strange bedfellows



 Day 31

  `

goodbye october
life is beautiful
captured in snippets

    you have caught the catchiness of the haiku's last line - especially like the white petticoats of day 24

    The first haiku is lovely. I did not read them all, just the first.
