will unfold
in right moment – but
only for you

folded
deliciously tight together
with charm
***
brittle legs
climbing up and down
the laced petal
***
a petal fell
then one after another leaving
lonely stamens

Carpe Diem’s Spring Retreat 2017 fragile beauty #5-8.
I think true friendship is great. Maybe also rare. Friendship between people I mean. Friendship with an animal is different. A dog is always loyal and faithful. You will never experience betrayal together with your dog.
being there
whenever – for both
and each

I long for your inspiration – also

”Gathering as it goes
All the rains of June, how swiftly
The Mogami flows!” Matsuo Bashõ 1644-1694

Mästaren av HAIKU. Han förde upp HAIKU poesin på en högre nivå. Jag har precis lånat två böcker för att riktigt insupa hans anda. Så gott jag kan.
När jag började skriva HAIKU höll jag mig strikt till 5-7-5 eller 3-5-3. När jag kände att jag fått lite kläm på skrivandet gjorde jag mig fri från det strikta och fick så mycket fin respons och feedback.
Just nu är jag helt såld på …. HAIKU – TANKA – HAIBUN … och vill utveckla mig i mitt skrivande. En extra utmaning blir det att skriva på engelska. För att sporra mig deltar jag i en utmaning i HAIKU och dels inspireras/svarar jag på HAIKU som Lize Bard (pseudonym) skriver i SydAfrika. En slags stafettskrivning som jag gillar mycket. De finns under kategori ”inspired”. Lize skriver fantastiskt fina HAIKU.
words of poetry
our flood – flowing in the air
up and down
Jag både inspireras och njuter av alla kontakter ute i världen.
Likt Bashõs flödande Mogami flod – flödar även allas vårt skrivande.

Such a beautiful picture! Amazing landscape. A place on earth where I could wish to die – when it is time – but not now.
Captivating and feeling the colors, the highlands touching the sky – it’s like poetry …
the highland sky road
worthy my feet – only if my heart
feel the beauty
… and also captivating in its mighty desolation. Such places are to me – as I believe churches are to religious people.
My little Daisy – The Tibetan – in the Highlands of Norway. She loved it and so did I. Some years ago. Miss you ❤
