after fireworks
the silence is clearer
darkness is deeper
~
eyes look upon the dark sky
awaiting another blaze
* Written in response of Carpe Diem’s Tan Renga Challenge # 4.
* The intriguing haiku is written by Bjorn Rudberg. The challenge was to write a couplet, two verses of 7 syllables each, complimenting the haiku.
Here is another one,
after fireworks
the silence is clearer
darkness is deeper
~
ears keep on buzzing with sounds
eyes glisten with faded light
paper lanterns hung
lighting hearts with a sweet hope
a reverent night
~
parades and fireworks
dance along with soothing breeze
farewell summer days
~
the layers of sins
shed at the end of summers
awakening soul
~
year half gone, half left
smile, celebrate nagoshi
chew guava candies
*Written in response of Carpe Diem # 231.
gleaming bright colors
hued with the paints of sparkle
fireworks in the sky
~
fun festival times
a play of fire all around
the burning night skies
~
radiant ablaze
reflecting back the beauty
still river waters
~
the dusk approaches
warding off evil spirits
with glazing fireworks
~
across river bank
looking for the hanabi
come hoards of tourists
~
a boom and a bang
piercing silence of the dark
the lights of glory
*Written in response of Carpe Diem # 229.
