Weekend Tan Renga Meditation: Icicles


Narcissus
in love with his reflection
vainglorious guy
like so many guys I've known
in love with their own image

snowdrops blooming
waving goodbye to Winter
nearly Spring
summer will be here too soon
wave goodbye to what I've known

icicles hanging
at the gutter of the old mansion
sun's reflections
the old place becomes my home
in the middle of nowhere

this cold winter night
laying naked under my quilt
feels like summer
have not felt this way in years
if I ever felt this way

messenger of heaven
circling high above my head -
re-thinking my life
what do you want me to do
why do you want me to do

light of ember
mysterious shadows on the wall -
a cool summer night
here in the home I've run to
long way from the home I knew

Chèvrefeuille & Cie


Note:
The hokku (the Haiku stanza) of each of these Tan Renga were created by Chèvrefeuille. The ageku (the closing stanza) were each created by me.

Interpreting St. Francis of Assisi in Haiku

http://chevrefeuillescarpediem.blogspot.com/2014/09/carpe-diem-special-108-words-by-francis.html

In spite of my faults
I hope you will remember
What I did with love

~Wanda~

We were given these words of St. Francis to interpret in a Haiku:
"Remember that when you leave this earth you can taken nothing of what you have received, but only what you have a given: a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice, and courage".
