It’s been a while since I’ve written haiku and tanka here … excluding Eos the other morning. I’ve transferred a lot of the haiku over to my blogger blog – Bastet’s Waka Library – because I have more space for photos and I’ve found that the editor is really easy to use without a lot of nonsense changes. That said .. here’s Morning Haiku and Waka for you!
umbrella trap
dead bugs in the larder
dried autumn flowers
where is the spider
who made the umbrella web
the flowers now dead
still don the silken white veil
full of food – now abandoned
among red leaves
cyclamens and spider webs
karma

I don’t know if that’s a real scientific term .. it’s just what it reminded of … glad you liked the expression and the poems dearest .. hope you’re doing well. I’ve been tied up walking for the past week, making up for the lost summer 🙂

Sometimes life gives you spider webs, and sometimes life gives you flowers. 🙂
This is a great series but the tanka really shines — especially the spider web as a veil.

Thanks … I’m seeing oodles of spider webs AND new flowers in the fields. This was a cool spider web though.

Hmmmm…. is this a girlgoyle speaking? Though one did slip into the living room. (That was a lie btw.)

Really amazing images that just compliment the poetry so well – or perhaps it is the other way around? Full circle. 🙂

Full circle … actually I looked for the spiderwebs after reading some comments … because a haiku started forming. 🙂
