Differently go

Daily Prompt: Cousin it.
We all have that one eccentric relative who always says and does the strangest things. In your family, who’s that person, and what is it that earned him/her that reputation?

HAIKU – Senryu.

Odd peculiar
funny things are taking place
in every person.

It stands for you to
controlled in every second
is lacking some life.

Differently go
seems interesting enough
otherwise running.

Det som du inte gillar

Jag lovar att
Jag ska
Jag tänker inte
Jag lovar
Jag ska sluta
Jag ska i alla fall försöka

Se’n gör jag det i alla fall
det där som du
inte gillar.

Idag regnar det. Det var länge sedan sist. Jag tyckte det var skönt att vara ute. Luften kändes frisk för jag inbillade mig att avgaser och annat smutsigt fångades in av regndropparna och luften renades för min inandning. Det kändes faktiskt så. Efter min runda över Donaus broar på både Pest och Budasdan samt efter lite – mycket lite – fotograferingen bestämde jag att det får bli Hummus idag igen. I butiken står det på väggen att Hummus är sexigt. Tänker att då får det bli sex chokladbitar och skön saxmusik som efterrätt. Tjoho!

Nu är det dags för efterrätten.

No – just wait

Daily Prompt: Waiting room.
”Good things come to those who wait.” Do you agree? How long is it reasonable to wait for something you really want?

HAIKU – Senryu

No, I don’t agree!
Good things come to all of us.
Just wait and you’ll see.

Carpe Diem's HAIKU

Carpe Diem Special #117, Tomas Tranströmer’s 3rd ”a mother of stone”.

The boy drinks his milk
and sleeps cozy in his cell,
a mother of stone

Jailed into myself
Unbreakable fence captures
Mother of sadness.


War is not over
Bring some well-meaning actions
Giving love a chance.


Longing and wishing
Summer meadow is flowering
Waiting for lovers.

Precious presents

Daily Prompt: Made by hand.
What’s the best present you’ve ever received that was handmade by the giver, not store-bought? Tell us what made it so special.

Got a ”diamond” decorated box
from my son.
Got a blue tree glass medallion
from my eldest daughter.
Got a black pearl copper ring
from my youngest daughter.

Precious presents saved and still
creating happiness in my heart.
