“This week’s prompt is Nocturnal or nighttime … this needs no further explanation I think so let’s do some hakui-ing – Carpe Diem Haiku Kai
Tanka
night’s velvet caress
the summer moon shines brightly
illuminating
the valley … her young lovers
enchanted, spot falling stars
§§§§§
Haiku
the falling star
streaks through the summer’s night sky
still, fire-flies dance
When nothing is certain anything is possible
life happens . . .

It was really one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been … like a fairy garden. And the converted manor house was splendid.

Lovely! You must set aside this story of this manor for a future show and tell later, Georgia
