Carpe Diem #1681 Troiku Month (10) moonlit night
the wild geese take flight
low along the railroad tracks
in the moonlit night © Masaoka Shiki
the wild geese take flight
wings softly stir the breeze
lonesome cry echoes
low along the railroad tracks
a stray dog drags his tail
fur against cold steal
in the moonlit night
a screech owls voice
pierces my heart

Carpe Diem #1680 Troiku Month (9) Pink Flowers Bloom
pale sea of pink
trailing across the sidewalk
primrose carpet
