Carpe Diem Haiku Kai: Solitude (Kodoku)



Christmas music plays
We select prized ornaments
Just the cat and me

         ~

Old handwritten note
"New York childhood Christmases"
Beaded star for tree

         ~

As far as a star
As near as these memories
Tender solitude

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai: Autumn Sunlight

Dog runs in late sun
Grass carpet of dewy webs
Spiders may forgive

Written for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai: "Autumn Sunlight"
This is a new meme group for me. I was drawn to this prompt, as it reminded me of a scene this autumn when I was walking my dog. We were alone in the vast soccer fields of a nearby school on a weekend and the late slanting sun showed that the grasses were totally carpeted with spider webs. It was truly awesome, and I pondered how fleeting the beauty of the spiders' handiwork would be.
