Carpe Diem 1657

sunday morning
all the waves in white
kneeling on the beach

Jane Reichhold

wildly pounding the sand 
spitting out shells and pebbles

Carpe Diem # 1659

autumn moonlight
the worm digs silently
into the chestnut

Basho

and like all thieves it steals
and destroys a perfect fruit

Carpe Diem # 1658

wintry gusts
on the sardines still lingers
the ocean's color

Akutagawa Ryunosuke




a rogue wave claims the fisherman
washed off the rocks into the sea

Carpe Diem # 83

Narcissus
in love with his reflection
vainglorious guy

all the yellow daffodils
pale in comparison

light of ember 
mysterious shadows on the wall
a cool summer night

© Chèvrefeuille

a portent of things to come
an echo chamber of sobs

snowdrops blooming
waving goodbye to Winter
nearly Spring

© Chèvrefeuille



she picks some fragrant buds
and puts them in her hair







icicles hanging 
at the gutter of the old mansion
sun's reflection

© Chèvrefeuille


snow white gazes out the window
wishing she could afford heating

this cold winter night
laying naked under my quilt 
feels like summer

 © Chèvrefeuille


seven dwarves generate
a lot of stifling heat






messenger of heaven
circling high above my head
re-thinking my life

 © Chèvrefeuille






if only i had not eaten
that crisp red juicy apple

Carpe Diem # 1656

a dandelion
now and then interrupting
the butterfly dream

Chiyo - Ni

 

weeds not her thing she prefers
bright yellow chrysanthemums

Carpe Diem # 1652

a pink rain of petals
falls from the cherry tree like
a corpus christi procession

Carpe Diem # 1654

smouldering fireplace
the sweet perfume of burned herbs
loneliness grabs my throat

i take a sip of cognac
and send you a text message
