Fuyuko Tomita's "black-iron wind bell" - February 8, 2015

with glass and bamboo
this February wind chimes
a bright morning song

Garda’s wind-song

daily chiming through the valley

endless rhapsody

Today at Carpe Diem Haiku Special, we're trying to learn to write in the style of a Dutch Haiku Poet named: Fuyuko Tomita.

Kurogane no fuurin byakuya o nariyamazu

Black-iron wind bell

in the white summer night

tinkles on and on

Here are some of our host's haiku on the subject of wind chimes:

evening walk

the sound of a wind chime

deep silence

© Chèvrefeuille

And a cascading haiku from his  archives at his base weblog:

in the spring breeze

the wind chime sounds

with every step

with every step

the melody of spring rain

follows me

follows me

the melody of a Buddhist chant

Om Mani Padme Hum

Om Mani Padme Hum

resonates in my heart and soul

in the spring breeze

rainbow bridges the mountains

Little Creatures - September 11, 2014

 

For today's little creatures, we're looking at autumn and who better than Issa could inspired us!

 tori naite bimbô-gusa(*) mo saki ni keri

birds singing--
wild daisies too
are blooming

  

asa-zamu mo haya gatten no tombo kana

he, too, quickly learns
how cold the morning is...
dragonfly

tombô no hako shite iru ya kiku no hana

the dragonfly
takes a crap...
chrysanthemum

But also Shiki:

rai harete ichiju no yûhi semi no koe

after the thunder-shower

one tree in evening sunlight

a cicada's cry

Our host has given us many other examples of other haiku poets, classical and modern, in his post today ... so go and be inspired at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai!

 autumn's thunder storms
the sparrows find little shelter
to keep their wings dry

fields of wild flowers
inviting bees for supper
before the winter snows

early frosted morn
only the blackbird's song
warms the day

under the darkened sky
the crows caw restlessly
food in abundance

a storm approaches
the fly seeking shelterinvades the parlor

trooping ants
gathering crops in their nests
for winter snows

in Arco this morning
chittering squirrel dropped nuts
on the city traffic

Dusk - September 8, 2014

For Carpe Diem Haiku Kai ...

 darkness
the wideness of things
fills the distance

tangled branches
coming darkness
woven in

a wave breaks white
a gull folds its wing
as the sea darkens

until dusk
they hide in secret places -
Nightingales sing

© Chèvrefeuille

sunkissed Mount Baldo

the darkness in the valley

- and the crickets sigh

early autumn dusk
bats joyfully fly and screech
gathering mosquitoes

following sunset
cicada empty branches
in the gloaming

lonely night song
in Arco's gloaming valley
nightingale's concert
