this wooden gate
shuts me out for the night
winter moon
above the sea
a rainbow, erased by
a flock of swallows

Today’s Carpe Diem Special is dedicated to Kikaku(1661-1707 , one of Basho’s most well-loved disciple:
“Kikaku has almost the same attraction to the beauty of nature as Basho had and he (Kikaku) has written wonderful haiku. Later in his life Kikaku fell in love with the city and his haiku changed dramatically, but were all beauties.” Chèvrefeuille
Venetian Water Roads – Villanelle – May 2, 2015
riding down a Venetian water road
rain drops fell from grey clouded skies
and white gulls sailed up high and bold
thunder rumbled somewhere it snowed
(which was a blessing in disguise)
riding down a Venetian water road
grey doves joined the gulls to goad
a wayward cat which growled in angry replies
and white gulls sailed up high and bold
bright kayaks throughout the Lagoon rowed
but in Burano some found this so unwise
riding down a Venetian water road
sights and sounds soon overflowed
birds, boats and people filled my ears and eyes
and white gulls sailed up high and bold
Oh Venice though your cold winds blowed
I loved each of your damp gusty sighs
riding down a Venetian water road
and white gulls sailed up and bold
