In Mist and Water Drops
The five haiku masters in Japan …. Bashō, Issa (Cup-of-tea), Buson, Chiyo-Ni and Shiki – ”the Big Five.”
It really gripped my – todays post at Carpe Diem. I almost felt I sailed up a poetry level. Felt very nice …
ah master
I read your poetry – in the water
you still are
… to be there. But however I am realistic too. I’m not there yet. But I promise – cross my heart … I’m on my way. Cause I so badly want to … I always want to be a better me. Not the best because I have passed that several times. I just want to get better and better …
eternally saved
haiku – in the mountain pediment
painted by Issa
Today I have been so inspired by poetry written by Hamish, Kristjaan and other masters. I think the way of … ”hear your voice in the water stream” …. ”birds chirping in the sound of stones” …. and I bring with me … ”the artist not to be seen in the poetry”. That last one will be difficult … I’m sure. I am also – every day – inspired by haiku by Lize Bard – and responding to them.
Hopefully – some day – I will become a better me … but as I use to say nowadays – I have time.
always take
time for haiku – writings

If – you can
With Love – QUEEN in Life
I saw you. In cyber. I wanted you! So very much. Said it was perfect and that you looked so smart. You answered. You looked upon me with younger eyes. Didn’t see me as ‘ an old woman’. In a way you are right. My soul is young and so is my heart. But! My years are my treasure chest. I want every single to be counted up to date. I like my age. Actually I love my age. It’s just so perfect for me!
So is you!
black and white
in it’s most gorgeous perfect way
queen of life
I cannot wait …. I know you will arrive in a few days …
You suggested but I wanted …
To Queen store.

Kiss of Cherry

cherry blossoms!

Such a beautiful post Chèvrefeuille made today about Cherry Trees and Blossoms in Japan!

ah! the spring breeze ©Chèvrefeuille
It’s easy to feel romantic when being among the blooming cherry trees. And nostalgic. We had in our garden where I grew up. Two trees. The large one – with bigger and black sweet berries – I used to climb to the top, where the best berries could be found.
I think I like more to be romantic now …
overwhelmed
by lovely kisses – into
cherry blossom
you took my hand first
and then my heart
Now I long so much to spring. First I will enjoy spring in Budapest and then I will enjoy spring in Lund. And I know where to find all the cherry blossom rooms in my cities. I also look forward all the kisses …

Hot Bath and a Samurai
Imagine … a week with cold kitchen and cold bathroom … no warm water for a shower or bath … oh how I long for my hot bath!!!! That pump for circulation in the gas machine! I hate when things brake down! They had to order from Vienna or Germany.
But! Yes there is a but … my bedroom is warm and also my heart.
Tomorrow …. hopefully …crossing my fingers … I can have my hot bath. I will spice up the moment with champagne and candles … then off to Bolero later in the evening. Longing so much!
I think most … after … the hot bath …
hot hot water
hugging every inch – of me
soul sailing
… now I thought of a samurai … do they know about massage … can they cut the water into swirling waves … are they good with their hands … are they only warriors or … maybe passionate lovers too … I wonder still …
Wielding the sword or the brushes – that´s the question 😉
I seem to have brushed me away into the bathtub …
