dust of snow
sparkle in moon light
falling stars

[…] “I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” […] Lewis Caroll

End of Summer

 

end of summer day
spent at the beach rapt in
the roar of the waves

and the seagull filled sunset
I give thanks for this day of healing

Carpe Diem Haiku Prompt : Pleasure

Yes, I can’t believe the fit to this prompt either, lol! Who knew! This was hanging on a wall outside a gallery on board a cruise ship..inside they were auctioning pieces from Matisse and other masters. I stood well outside the doors on this one. It was fun to watch though, it’s nothing I would have ever done on dry land:) Cruises, a world of their own. It was my first.

summer afternoon rains
rhythmic rain drops on my head –
memories from childhood
