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
© Tomas Tranströmer

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.

Wake your soul!

Daily Prompt: No time to waste.
Fill in the blank: ”Life is too short to _____.” Now, write a post telling us how you’ve come to that conclusion.

Life is too short to …
use the word ”not”.

Just go for it
enjoy, experience and learn
talk, listen and mingle
visit, travel and explore.

If you do – you live
If you do ”not”
you need to shake and
wake your soul.

 

Befrielsen

Skrivpuff: Stram.

När det nu ska formuleras omkring nattens temaord blir det genast enkelspårigt uppe i tänkeriet. Finns det något stramare än dåtidens lärarinnor?
Det känns så stramt att skrivlusten stryps.

– Varför påverkas så!
– Det kan verkligen inte accepteras!
Här gäller det att ta kontroll och bemästra.
– Hrm ….
… stramar upp mig …
ännu stramare
än det strama som angrep.

Senryu:

Klockan ringde in.
Nu ska vi läsa! sa hon
med  sin strama ton.
