Carpe Diem #1023 A Sparrow


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Maybe you can remember that back in our history we had Kala Ramesh as featured haiku poetess for our CD-Specials and today I have a nice quote by her to inspire you. This will be a short episode, but I think it can inspire you.

Here is the quote by Kala Ramesh:

[...] "Last evening I was looking out from my balcony and saw a sparrow perch on a branch. All of a sudden, with a quick jerk, she ruffles her feathers and spreads out her wings – her bodyline on an upward curve, about to take off." [...] Kala Ramesh

Kala Ramesh
This episode is open for your submissions tonight at 7.00 PM (CET) and will remain open until August 18th at noon (CET). Have fun!


Share your haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry form inspired on this quote by Kala Ramesh with us all here at our Haiku Kai.

    disappearing light
    a sparrow's night song drifting
    across the pond

    clouds make way
    end of a long quest
    heaven opens up

    clouds make way
    sparrow takes flight
    first fallen leaf

    end of a long quest
    scent of Givenchy
    still lingers

    heaven opens up
    scent of Givenchy
    an angel awaits
