A cold rain starting
And no hat —
So?
~
drenching me throughout
a cold rain spattering down
clothes cling to body
~
tilted umbrella
drops soaking the plastic face
thunder up above
* The first haiku is written by Basho. And the other two are my own inspired creations.
Jane Reichhold’s Haiku,
filling
the glass with candlelight
champagne
~
My inspired creation,
the clinking glasses
champagne glints in candle flame
wall-clock chimes midnight
* Written for Carpe Diem Special.
innocent she was
in her resolute silence
innocent she was
in her underlying posture
innocent she was
in her gullible gestures
innocent she was
in her worthwhile moments
innocent she was
when she thrived and dreamed
innocent she is
when she shed those pearls
innocent she is
in her emotionless words
innocent she is
in her dead eyes
innocent she is
in her submissive forms
innocent she is
in her nude covers
a sculpture of innocence
she was, she is.
* Inspired by the photograph titled Innocent by amberafrica. It is extraordinary.
Kikusha Ni’s Creation:-
my body all alone
in this autumn I feel –
the dusk in rain
~
My inspired creations:-
alone in the field
I feel the feel of rain drops
stream of silent tears
~
at the edge of ship
glancing at shades of water
lone feeling of peace
P.s.- The two haiku I have created are very close to my heart. They are written in response to Carpe Diem Special 44.
