deep into the night
cigarette smoke swirl and curl
she sits without moving
studying the movement
of the smoke in the dimly lit room
scripting the events of the night
maybe dawn will shed some light

Reflection
day turns to eveningCountry Lane
Walks along this country lane leads to the reservoir
Meandering left, then right
pass fields of purple ground cover –
Spring’s having her way
Around the last curve a vast expanse, water kiss blue skies
A breathtaking spike in nature’s beauty –
I pause for reflection

For Carpe Diem Haiku
Love
on this life journey
we have navigated all
we laughed and we cried –
autumn of our lives now filled
with warm loving reflections

A bell at sunset
Carpe Diem #732 “A bell at sunset”
In (spring 1689) Basho
“Spending a lonely spring evening in a country cottage” wrote
bell at sunset
also was not heard
a spring evening

And at another time he also wrote
“kane tsukanu/ stow a nani o ka/ haru no kure
[bell not-ring/ village as for what do / spring’s evening]”
no bell ringing
what do the villagers do
on a spring evening
© Basho (trans. Jane Reichhold)
HOST wrote a ‘ like’ haiku:
no poplar seeds
are falling like snow
under the rainfall
the cuckoo’s call
unheard on the plains
on a spring morning
© G.s.k. ’15
My attempt:
no bell at sunset
time for quiet reflection
thoughts of tomorrow
