Carpe Diem Haiku - Basho Revisited

departing autumn

a clam

torn from its shell

departing autumn

Basho

The task now, with this haiku, is to attempt to render its beauty  in a new version, influenced and inspired by Basho's original.

uluru rising

noble peoples' land torn

never to return

Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge, "One Yellow Leaf" by Jen of Blog It or Lose It

clinging to the bank

where water wrestles with rock

one yellow leaf

remembered for its struggle

as much as for its beauty

Carpe Diem Haiku - Horizon

is there ever

only one 

horizon

the further I walk

the more the horizon plays

will it ever let me win

the gypsy knows

the horizon exists

only in the mind

Carpe Diem Haiku - Oness

my view

stretching for miles from my skin

where do I end and you begin?

...think about it
