Footprints

CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI

The haiku for today, is the following:

footprints in the sand
to here and there and nowhere
and the gull flying

(c) Hando

       


My take 

togetherness in life
treacherous typhoon lashed
parting of footprints on sand.

harbour moon
the loneliness of fisherman
under lighthouse cliff

my take

harbour moon
the loneliness of fisherman
under lighthouse cliff

memories of dear ones
gives company to loneliness.

sea-shells

Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Challenge Month #XXIV, Sun's ''gathering seashells''

                                                   

gathering seashells
while ocean tide rise and falls
two sisters bicker

My take 

gathering seashells

while ocean tide rise and falls

two sisters bicker

that they should not part

the shore and the waves.

( the shore and the waves are the two sisters. The waves lash the shore intermittently and during low tide recede . so the sister want to stay together )

many ladles, stirring

the broth of sunshine
