black velvet
clouds hanging close to Earth
new moon sky
a call breaks the deep silence
midnight owl’s hunting call

This week’s Sparkling Stars at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai is dedicated to an Indian poet who is also a musician, Kala Ramesh … Please visit Carpe Diem’s post more information about this versatile artist in the meantime … below is an interesting Vpost by Ms Kala Ramesh, and Dr Jayashree Rajagopalan, where they magically blend the art of haiku with the art of Bharat Natyam dance … this is part one.

There’s always something magical in the way you weave words together and juxtapose them with your images. I love this particular photo and the mood you create with your well-chosen words. You’re truly gifted! Thank you, Bastet!

Beautiful, beautiful — that midnight owl gives me the shivers!
I’ve bookmarked the video for later — want to give it the attention it deserves. Very neat that she’s explaining Chiyo-Ni at the end! 😀
