Carpe Diem Winter Retreat 2016 #10

Dear friends,

Another nice haiku for the Winter Retreat, but not in the setting of winter, but in the setting of summer.

the babbling brook
makes me drowsy and happy -

Carpe Diem Winter Retreat 2016 "find the silence" #9

Dear friends,

During lack of time it wasn't possible to publish every day lately, so my excuses for that. As you all know at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai the Winter Retreat is running. 30 Days writing every day a haiku or tanka themed "find the silence".

Here is my new submission for the Winter Retreat 2016:

rustling leaves
telling stories from all over the world
the silence deepens

Carpe Diem Winter Retreat 2016 "find the silence" #8

Dear friends,

I am on the nightshift and that means that I have not enough time to write for this or my other weblog. However ... a haiku in which the theme of this Carpe Diem Winter Retreat "find the silence" is used must be done.

I love writing haiku (or tanka) and it's really a joy to create haiku (or tanka) on a daily base. So I just had to do it.

Today I have a nice tanka for you, maybe you have read this one already on one of my other blogs, but as I stated above ... I don't have time enough. This one is from my archives:

autumn departs
in deep silence willow leaves fall -
tears on this grave
as the willow is green again
another year has gone

See you ...

the colorful sky at sunset -

Carpe Diem Winter Retreat 2016 "find the silence" 6 breathing silence

Dear friends,

Another day to create a haiku or tanka for the Winter Retreat of Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. For this Winter Retreat, the theme is "find the silence" ... and as you maybe know I have written a lot of haiku themed "silence", it is one of my favorite themes for my haiku (or tanka).

Here is my new haiku for the Winter Retreat:

alone on the beach
only the cries of seaguls -
breathing silence
