Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Today, on Fathers Day, I love to share a new haiku written by our haiku poetess for this month of Carpe Diem, Kikusha-Ni. She was a contemporary of Chiyo-Ni. As you all (maybe) know Chiyo-Ni wrote a lot of haiku about Morning Glories. Therefore I love to share a 'Morning Glory'-haiku by Kikusha-Ni.
morning glories
in the evening, they let us
admire their buds
(I couldn't retrieve the Romaji translation).

As I was preparing this Special episode I realized that it is Fathers Day today (June 16th) so I became inspired to write a haiku in the same sense, tone and Spirit as the one by Kikusha-Ni, but with a reference to Fathers Day.
granddad's grave
overgrown with Morning Glories -
tears in my eyes
Another one:
shadows disappear
Pink Morning Glories open their buds
for only one day
This Special prompt will stay on 'til June 17th 11.59 AM (CET) and I will post our next episode, Hasu (Lotus), later on today around 8.00 PM (CET). By the way the linking widget opens at 9.00 PM (CET).
Share your special haiku inspired on the one by Kikusha-Ni with Carpe Diem.
