Anaphora


 

when it's all too hard

 crawl into bed 

pull the covers over your head 

 


 when its all too hard

immerse yourself in a hot bubble bath

by candle light


when it's all to hard

try to sleep to the soft notes

of a ginger puss purring


when it's still too hard

pick up a phone

you will feel better

when you hear his voice

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai # 1855

"People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams because they feel that they don't deserve them, or that they'll be unable to achieve them." (Source: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho)

Dreamtime
inner feelings and emotions
come alive

a dream

to hold you in my arms

just once 

to hear your fugue

playing just for me

earthweal weekly challenge: ALL SOULS

 

 

lighting candles for the departed

in the church

on a rainy november evening

they are not gone really

they are a part of me

i pray for their souls

i think of them

i speak to them 

all the time

they were good people

they took joy 

in all the simple things

they were kind

they were generous

they shared the little they had

they worked hard

they were humble

and

i never knew

how lucky i was

CARPE DIEM # 1851

lost and alone

a wandering spirit

beneath the sun 

 Yozakura

better than frost and cold

in the winter snow

 what has happened? 

petals of red roses around

the morning glory

thoughts of you

in a lovely dream

 the morning sun

the twinkle of stars

still in the dew

seagulls raid the bins

the glint of polished pebbles

in the crystal brook

pebbles 

simple beauty 

on a beach 

 

CARPE DIEM # 1854 ... fusion haiku


morning awakenings:

among window curtains' flowers 

a blade of grey sky 

Alexey Andreyev

 

another day ends 

reaching for the stars and the moon

into the dreamworld

Chevrefeuille






no curtains

another grey day ends

flowers in a window
