Carpe Diem

Shell frost

Carpe Diem Ghost Writer #37, Georgia on Frost

Dust of Snow
Robert Frost, 1874 – 1963

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

sudden gust of wind
snow swirls down on me
makes me shiver            © Chèvrefeuille

Both feet in the sea
the whirling sand is tickling
sharp dazzles shell frost

 

Window Blinds Morning

Carpe Diem #621, first light.

Inspired by …

morning light
a couple on the cliff
as spirits of a new day       © Jane Reichhold

winter morning
the fragile light of the sun
reflects in the snow     © Chèvrefeuille

I write my haiku about”first light”…

Window blinds morning
reveals lightning of first rays
snowflakes dancing waltz.

the old boat still needs

Waiting for the new true life

Ah! That salty air

Inspired by Sara’s haiku – here is mine …

The sea spoke dunder
Lost finds were brought back home
Stoned bed polish logs.
