riotous blossoms
fill the gardens and pathways
new bird’s nests
white water and blossoms
walking in the country-side
heavy with perfume
friends and family
sitting in the blossom rain
first spring picnic

Carpe Diem Special #194 A Trip Along Memory Lane — with a twist
The twist is that though our host had created a new prompt, he never published it, here’s the story:
“Let me tell you which special feature I am talking about. This feature I created shortly after our first month of inspirational music, but I never dared to publish it, because of its likeness with Imagination.
This special feature I had titled “Carpe Diem Awakens your Muse” and the goal was to share a video for your inspiration. These videos would be all about nature and so … after thinking and re-thinking this I decided to bring this special feature in our last CD Special of January.

Credits: Sparrow on Lotus (logo CD Awakens Your Muse) |
The goal of this CD-Special is to watch a video, look at the images, listen to the music and become one with the scene(s) in the video and awaken your muse and write/compose an all new haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry form.”
fragile beauty
the shining wind* from the east
plays with cherry blossom
from far away
the sound of a temple bell
welcomes spring
cherry blossoms bloom
bare branches in designer cloths
children’s laughter

Thanks Hamish, I must admit that I really wasn’t in much of a mood for prompt and so the ku didn’t come along as nicely as I would have liked. I’m pleased therefore if you found the haiku nice …

Sometimes it just won’t come. A mystery!

True … yesterday I wasn’t in the mood to write, and that happens rarely, but when it does, I guess I should just listen and lay back because I could write a masterpiece and it just wouldn’t work for me.
