Carpe diem haiku kigo is Gione (Gion Festival).

Kaji of Gion holding a fan by Utagawa Kuniyoshi
as Gione ends
bashfully at Eki shrine
she says goodbye
she says goodbye
in her eyes I learn the truth
as Gione ends

I like the image of the bashful good-bye…
Gion Festival
lovely goodbye, though sad
as Gione ends
she says goodbye
with vacant eyes
as Gione ends
she says goodbye
haunting vacant eyes
Lovely!!
