HAIKU

Heart is sacred

Carpe Diem #642, Sacred Rope (Shimekazari).
Kigo is that little Japanese word used by haijin (haiku poets) to fix or identify  a season in their poem.  There are more than 500 seasonal words that can be used.

remove strangle
rule the rope for freedom
heart is sacred

sacred rope
like upside down horse shoe
rest confidently

I am ready

Carpe Diem #640, First Sun (Hatsuhi) and Carpe Diem #641, Spring Kimono (Harugi).

the beam of light strikes
sun is grabbing the morning
welcome sweet life

in time for life
the spring of offsprings wake
coloring flowers

I bought my ticket
sitting in first row of show
now press the button

I am ready ….

Swinging my life

Skrivpuff: Hålla.

Vaknade med ett HAIKU i huvudet denna dag. Sedan blev det en bild också. Håll i dig nu!

bort ur mitt liv nu
ett endaste litet klick
fri för en ny vår

Close to the sky

Skrivpuff: Gång.

Tar mig för pannan. Undrar över en massa saker. Sedan försvinner de när jag ska fixera med tangenttryckningar vad jag egentligen funderar över. Känns skönt att både ha huvudet fullt och samtidigt kunna få det tomt.
Är det tidens gång?

love the new year
like dreaming close to the sky
creative under

Kikobun – Love letter

Carpe Diem Ghost Writer #40 ”Kikobun” by Hamish Managua Gunn.

Haibun & Kikobun – reseskildringar i prosa med insprängda haiku. Den senare med naturskildringar.

My bag is packed. Essential 2 P-s as well. The 3rd P I don’t need any more 😉 What? You don’t know about the P-s!
Well here is some Swedish: Pengar & Pass (money & passport and 3rd is P-pills). Journey starts now.

door opens to world
crispy white snow tells my track
bus to airport

Crossing the landscape in south Sweden. Large fields. Farm houses. Some horses dressed in coats. Here and there. Lots of horses in fact. Not so many forests. The ponds are frozen and the birds are hungry.
Passing one, two, three roundabouts.

slippery roads
driver keeps focus on drivers
cars in hurry sucks

Security is thorough and safe. And really exhaustive. Longing for boarding. Longing for flying above the clouds. Closer to the sun. Like a hawk keep eyes on landscape. Waiting for the mighty Danube to turn up. Danube knee the famous bend and lovely Szentendre nearby.
Next pearl is the most beautiful city in Europe – Budapest. The city of ARTS in every kind. I just love Budapest!

Buda hills Pest side
Danube links Buda and Pest
art and nature in love

I close my eyes today and open them tomorrow.
Like a dream – I will fly away ….
Budapest next.
