Carpe Diem # 80

summer grasses
filled with the sound of crickets
on a hot night

Carpe Diem # 1646

a child's excitement
the spanish armada
in a puddle

Carpe Diem # 1645

 blue shimmering pearl
 nature's free decorations
 for the creative

Carpe Diem # 1644

rain pounds the windows
best place in this weather
a  big comfy bed

<

you snoring gently
too warm and cosy to leave
tea will not be served

Carpe Diem Spring Kigo 2019

after the storm
the sea gives up its treasures
also its secrets

black sea glass
smashed poison bottles from
16th century ship wrecks

Carpe Diem # 1641

together they fly
way up in the sky
two kites in love

Villanelle

in the quiet of night
slight rustle of wings
a lone bird in flight

an apple she bites
discarded in a bin
in the quiet of the night

distressed by her plight
without her nice things
a lone bird in flight




no comfort or light 
she ties flowers with string
in the quiet of the night

she espies a blue  kite
the  colour of ming
a lone bird in flight

she plays her small fife
after all it is spring
in the quiet of the night
a lone bird in flight
