Full snow moon
Show me Paradise
Before noon...

Dear snow moon
Did you just call me?
Let's have tea...


Haiku:  Full Snow Moon Plus Two...


Caterpillar Queen
Rejoice at the coming Spring
Soon, a butterfly...

From cocoon to free
Wings spread out majestically
Soon, a colony...
 
Today, the words are Full Snow Moon, Caterpillar, and Strangers


What is Carpe DiemBlog Owner, Kristjaan Panneman,  describes it as:  "a weblog on haiku. It's a new daily haiku meme where you can write a classical or non-classical haiku on a given prompt. Haiku is an ancient Japanese poetry form. A haiku has three short lines and describes a short moment (as short as the sound of a pebble thrown into water). Mostly a haiku counts 5-7-5 syllables and is sometimes called 'counted verse.'"

Single silhouette...
Soon, more in replication
Join him, on my wall...

 We are not strangers
Though we haven't met in person
Our hearts and souls have...

  8. I like the contrast in the first photo of the now covered mountains and the one in the foreground. It's daytime but the moon is visible.

  9. You got pretty pictures there of the caterpillar and the butterfly on the flower. I always associate these images with breaking out from whatever bondage holds you and being the best you could ever be.

  15. We are all like the caterpillar with the promise of being a beautiful caterpillar.
    I have been reading a book that it wouldn't hurt to add one more friend, even an unlikely friend.
