Carpe Diem Haiku Special – Cor van den Heuvel – October 18, 2015

Posted on October 18, 2015 by Georgia

sunlight bursts
through the grey morning rain
sunflowers bow

sound of TV
drifts across the fields
falling snow

Carpe Diem Special #175 Cor van den Heuvel’s “reading a mystery”

reading a mystery
a cool breeze comes through
the beach roses

through the small holes
in the mailbox
sunlight on the blue stamp

i’m somehow transformed
happier hearing outside’s whispers
and fallen leave’s exhale 🙂

    A year ago I gave a packet of Sunflower seeds to someone–this year she showed me photos–they’re 10 feet tall, glorious!

  I particularly like that ku, when you flip it it reads:
  
  falling snow
  drifts across the fields
  sound of TV

        I saw tiny tiny snow flakes today on my way to work:( it was not like that special moment of a first snow fall…so I am in denial…it was dandruff from the angels

        neither have I but my main reason to start blogging was never poetry (which surprises me now…lol) but to motivate me to write more

        Same here … I never thought I’d write poetry … I was more attracted to short stories … with a novel maybe somewhere along the line .. go figure!
