Today’s Carpe Diem kigo is Tanpopo (Dandelion). And once more I turn to Claude Monet for an illustration
Claude Monet Dandelions
you cannot stop a child
blowing dandelion seed
spreading of the weeds
~~
the yellow suns
of dandelion bloom
I let them be

The view from here ... Or here!

Now we see through a glass, darkly
rejuvenatement - not retirement
words and scribble.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
you really can’t stop a child …
Right! We let them be! (You should have seen my little garden …) They are beautiful. And annoying, to say the least. So they are to identify with. Lovely dandelion! The child has got it.
I am with you – I leave them where they are so I can pick the flowers or blow the seed around
Lovely imagery Bjorn, yes you cannot stop a child’s play with the Dandelions,
Love that you let them be. When dandelion season is almost over, nothing is more loving to me than watching my husband walk thru the neighborhood seeking a dandelion for Lucy our tortoise. Yellow suns 🙂
I love dandelions and shamelessly blow their seeds all over my yard. 😉
Again your poet’s eye. Really both very nice, different, but of coourse the contrast between the two haiku is very interesting.
Let the Dandelions be free I say too 🙂
I still blow dandelion seeds 🙂 lovely BR.
What a world this would be if we let all things simply be!
Dandelion’s Fortitude
a child’s play
seeming so innocent
an ocean of weeds
Cheers!

I’m with you on letting those yellow suns be!! Well done!
Letting dandelions be is sometimes a wise thing to do…and sometimes not so wise. Each must find the way…
Dandelion Season
Well done – love the ida of a child spreading …
Lovely. They really are little suns in the lawn. Must stop thinking about them as weeds.
