Carpe Diem-Hallowe’en Pumpkins

….this week’s Carpe Diem prompt is based on Hallowe’en

Orange Fields

Orange pumpkins wait

Jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin pie

What will be their fate?

Lights glow from within

Through hollow eyes, sawed off teeth

Welcoming children

Big ones, little ones

Choosing is so difficult

Will it be one, two….?

Carpe Diem “Sparkling Stars” – Tea

P1000262

Amber Delight

The colour infuses

the freshly boiled water

rich amber nectar

*******************************

Sighs of instant joy

the tension vanishes with

the first sip of tea

*******************************

Tea leaves swirl about

in the hot bath, as steam rises

eager guests await

Chèvre Feuille from Carpe Diem invites you to join him in creating your own Haiku poem about tea.

 

Haiku – Psycho and Drive

….this weeks challenge is to use the words psycho and drive in a Haiku poem

Driving through red lights

Rolling stops, excessive speed

The psycho is lose

*******************************

The constant drip, drip

drives against the window pane

sleepless, psychotic

*********************************

The car sits idle

while I search madly for keys

driving me psycho

Full Circle – Carpe Diem #3

“Called ”Full Circle” … the goal is to write haiku with the twelve (12) words given. It’s a kind of word-whirl and you have to use the words given in the clock-wise direction. So every word has to come in the line of it’s place on the clock e.g. mirror you have to use for line one (1) and leaves for line two (2) and so on.”
I will give you twelve (12) words (for every ”hour”) one word. The goal is to write haiku using the words as given in the clock wise way.

Here are the 12 (twelve) words:

1. mirror
2. leaves
3. rain
4. butterfly
5. chrysanthemum
6. breeze
7. stars
8. clouds
9. ocean
10. daisies
11. cow shed
12. secret

The mirror reflects

the leaves falling from the trees

in the lashing rainP1030041
