sun ripe cherries cling
in an old tree a doves nest
yearns a gentle breeze

Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge #85, "the ancient woman"


the ancient woman
cherry tree blooms in old age
an event to remember
(Basho)

like a young girl she stands
strong in the wind, the old sakura
(Chèvrefeuille)


she climbs a ladder
to pick fruit sun ripened -
this old woman

from the cherry tree
fruits roll under the jasmine shrub -
hot day

❧✿❧

hot day -
brown doves coo in the shade
of jasmines

❧✿❧

whites of jasmines
scent eventide -
flickers from fireflies
