Full snow moon
Show me Paradise
Before noon...
Dear snow moon
Did you just call me?
Let's have tea...
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 Diem? Blog 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.'"

ReplyDeleteAwesome ... What a beautiful post on all those various prompts. Really a joy to read and re-read.
ReplyDeleteHi...am new to Carpe Diem community. Love your last haiku for strangers. So true in our virtual world.
ReplyDeleteI really like that we are less strangers than most I've met in person.
ReplyDeletethat was a great haiku. I love the photo of caterpilalr and butterfly.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteappreciate the beauty of nature.. it will give us peaceful minds and heart XD
ReplyDeleteWhen I see a caterpillar, I always remember the one my husband took care of until it became a beautiful butterfly.
ReplyDeleteMommy Maye
More pondering about the moon this week.. lovely pictures.
ReplyDeletei love the metaphor of a caterpillar and i think I was once like a caterpillar who turned into a butterfly through the grace of God.
ReplyDeletei like the shots, i like butterflies!
ReplyDeleteWe are all like the caterpillar with the promise of being a beautiful caterpillar.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading a book that it wouldn't hurt to add one more friend, even an unlikely friend.
I love your haiku and I love your pics as well. It shows how you can metamorphose into a wonderful being
ReplyDeleteWonderful haikus. ^^ nice photos as well
ReplyDeleteAnother nice set of Haiku! I agree with the quote, Strangers are friends we haven't met! :)
