Carpe Diem Autumn Retreat 2017 departure #13 gone with the wind


Dear friends,

The Carpe Diem Autumn Retreat 2017 is running towards its end, August 15th 10:00 PM (CET) it will be closed, and this retreat I wasn't very active, because of all different reasons, but well ...

However I love to give it a try to catch up, but that means I have to do 18 other posts ... I don't know if that's possible but I will give it a try. Here is my 13th post to the CD Autumn Retreat 2017:

angry at the gods
she torns apart the holy scriptures
gone with the wind

 
post 14:
leaving school
an outcast he is
being gay
 
post 15:
autumn departs
in deep silence willow leaves fall -
tears on this grave
as the willow is green again
another year has gone
autumn in Koyo (Japan)
post 16:
crystal cobweb
sparkles in the early sun
dewdrops vaporize
just a little while
I felt a rich haiku poet
post 17:
broken branches
last leaves ripped apart
autumn departs
the first snow starts to fall
cuddling in front of the hearth
post 18:
reflections
scattered by autumn leaves
the old pond
autumn in Japan
post 19:
searching wisdom
I pray to Mother Earth
before leaving

post 20:
a last leaf
swirls on the wind towards the east -
first snow falls gently

Carpe Diem Autumn Retreat 2017 (9) leaving home


Dear friends,

Maybe you have noticed it, but the Carpe Diem Autumn Retreat 2017 is running. This Retreat the theme is "departure" and I think it is a wonderful theme for autumn, but ... and that you will have seen also ... I am not a regular publisher in this Retreat, but I love to change that.

So here is a new "impromptu" verse themed departure:

leaving home
in a hurry
grandfather again

No ... I have not become a granddad again, it is a haiku I wrote, because two (2) of my grandchildren had birthday last month. And two (2) other grandchildren this month ...

See you ...

Carpe Diem Autumn Retreat 2017 (7) leaving home


Dear friends,

As you maybe know I am hosting a daily haiku meme, also on blogspot, titled Carpe Diem Haiku Kai and maybe you know that I am initiating a seasonly retreat every season. The Carpe Diem Autumn Retreat 2017 is running already for a month and I have already read wonderful haiku and tanka, but until today I didn't publish a lot for this autumn retreat, so today that's going to change.
The theme for the Carpe Diem Autumn Retreat is departure, because I associate autumn with departure and leaving or letting go ... not an easy theme maybe, but of course I just want to challenge you and myself.

leaving home
the youngest son of four kids
finally on his own
cherishing the love of his life
being together as one

It's a strange idea that the last of your children is leaving the nest ... of course we all know that they have to go one day, but as that day comes it gives you a real feeling of departure ... your life as parents is changing immensely ... an empty nest ...

See you again ...
