a group of smiles
poolside on a sunny day -
blue plumbagos
add charm in blooming petals
water splashes tease the sky

the sound of water -
clouds settle in between
laughter of children

Carpe Diem #745 moonrise



tsuki shiro ya hiza ni te o oku yoi no yado

moonrise
holding their hands on their knees
evening at a house

[hokku - basho; Tr. Jane Reichhold]

sitting on the back steps
cooling of darkening skies

whites of plumeria
shine through like night stars
in the garden

the birds have gone to roost
leaving behind a quiet twilight

my grand child speaks
in sentences; she likes
orange juice best

surely the kitchen door
should be repainted again

first rains -
the delight of plumbagos
dancing in the wind

an umbrella unfurls
to quickening footsteps

[2-8 - gillena cox]

This is the renga our host - Chèvrefeuille shared with us

Hokku:

moonrise
holding their hands on their knees
evening at a house


on her wooden throne
grandmother makes me a new quilt

an open window
the sound of a chainsaw in consonance
with a woodpecker

the sweet perfume of young leaves
makes me dance and sing with joy

she smiles at me
love at first sight this is
25 years ago

eyes full of compassion
looking at the young leaves

blue irises bloom
the old pond becomes young again
a frog jumps in

she, the moon, reflects in the water
splash ... her face wrinkles

midnight blue . . .
staring at
a blank page

his hand shapes a corn flower
with no prompting
