Today Carpe Diem has two haiku by Shiki as inspiration.
the evening sun
filters through the undergrowth
onto the hanging bed
~ and ~
the thunderstorm having cleared up
the evening sun shines on a tree
where a cicada is chirping
Just a couple of weeks ago during our vacation in Florida my wife and I admired this sunset at a beachside restaurant.
for evening sun
breeze plays melody with
leaves of palm tree
~~
cicada greets
the evening setting sun
deep in undergrowth
~~
shining through the leaves
fire of nocturnal sun
onto my hammock

Beautiful words!
Thank you
You should have come to Chicago! 🙂 Hope you had fun.
Nice and soothing.. Probably a little warmer than Chicago.
Definitely! 🙂 Soothing is good for a vacation. You can go home refreshed. Are you still in the States?
Nope, back to Sweden since two weeks 🙂
I would love to hear the breeze’s melody especially if played by palm trees!
Wonderful sound 🙂
You’ve capture the essence of vacation!
I think so 🙂
Out of the three I loved the first haiku the best. Beautiful job with them and looking at that pic, I am so jealous of the people in Florida right now. Living in the frigid North East I feel as if I may never see the outside world look warm and inviting ever again.
Know what you mean, living in Sweden 🙂
i have to agree with the previous comment… your haiku makes me wanna go on vacation.. 🙂
Hop you can take one…. soon,
I think my earlier comment is in your spam(the one from my phone) I came back to look at your photo! It’s wonderful! Hope it was warm in Fla. for you!
I fixed it.
I can feel the mood from those words. Really good!
Thank you
I am totally in awe of these but especially, especially the first one and that melody playing breeze. WOW!
Thank you
Lovely brushstrokes of colour and feeling in these descriptive haiku!
Thank you 🙂
Pure art, Björn! Beautiful, with a touch of carelessness in the air and therapeutically calming song of cicada.
Oh, thank you. An evening sun can mean so much.
calming, very well written, photo is great!
Thank you 🙂
Wonderful set Bjorn, looks and sounds like a great vacation 🙂
It was great, but it’s starting to wear off.
nice set …. espec. like the last – there’s the ‘fire of nocturnal sun’ and then there’s you – in your hammock just digging it all…
Yes indeed 🙂
nocturnal sun sounds lovely !
beautiful words for as inspiring pic 🙂
It was very nice… but it got a little cold after a while.
Haiku sounds so inviting as does the photo ~ Wonderful post!

Thanks for coming by and commenting ^_^
Thank you, it’s my pleasure.
That last one is brilliant, even if a hammock now is hard to relate to just now!. 3 good haiku again.
Beautiful scenery in that photo … really a nice set of haiku inspired on the ones I gave by Shiki. Thank you Bjorn for your daily effort to share haiku with us.
Thank you, and thank you for your effort.
