gathering the tears
life-giving water roaring
hurries to the sea
~~
hurries to the sea
stay and rest beside the falls
shed a single tear

shed a single tear
drying memory on face
precious jewelry
Haiku using the Carpe Diem prompt tears
October 25, 2012

What an awesome haiku and yiou have used the cascading way … great. You have used the prompt in a nice way.
could not have been more beautifully written! I am humbled by your talent….
I’m blushing. It was a joy to write.
Good Day Bjorn, nice to see you again here on Carpe Diem. Thank you for this wonderful cascading haiku. This is really an amazing haiku set … very strong and a nice use of the prompt. This cascading haiku set could have been from a classical haiku master, although they didn’t know this cascading way of writing a haiku set.
The last haiku is my favorite … thank you for participating in Carpe Diem.
Thank you so much for your warm words. I assume that you can merge the cascade into a choka, and then finish of with two lines, and the other way around.

life-giving water roaring
hurries to the sea
stay and rest beside the falls
shed a single tear
drying memory on face
precious jewelry
soaked by river water sit
ocean waves are calling me
You have given “tears” a whole new dimension … loved it !!!
Thank you, I usually take the meme and browse my picture for a combination.
