the old pond
a frog jumps in –
the sound of water
~
ripples appear on surface
reflecting the cloudy sky
* For Carpe Diem’s Tan Renga Challenge. The popular haiku is written by Basho, one of the most famous haiku poets. And complimenting it are my own two lines, thereby completing the renga.
tip-tip-toe-tip-tip
music of rain on pavement
lost in memories
~
out of oblivion
clouds shade the sky in its cloak
the first drops fell down
~
a midsummer rain
relieving yearning pupils
a solace from heat
~
elevated Sun
drizzling clouds in the sunshine
look for the rainbow
~
the midsummer’s day
longest in glory and rays
washed down by the rain
~
looking through window
a play of the rain droplets
meditating life
* Written in response of Carpe Diem # 219
Look me in the eyes
these eyes tell my story
look beyond those tears
look beyond that renitence
that appears in my eyes
Look and tell me
what you see in them
tell me what you perceive
tell me my own story
story I don’t know myself
for I can’t look
in my own eyes.
