Carpe Diem Treasure

Kristjaan came up with a new episode for his already beautiful and alluring challenge. This is called "treasure" and it requires to use someone else's haiku, a haiku that brought back to you some memories.

So, for today's Carpe Diem Treasure I've stopped at one of Basho's haiku:

where’s the moon? 

the temple bell sunk 

to the bottom of the sea

 

tsuki izuku / kane wa shizumeru / umi no soko

 

These beautiful lines brought back to my memory the visit to a salina from a few months ago. I've been fascinated by that beautiful dark place and by the salt lake equipped with boats in order to make the time there more enjoyable. Inspired by Basho (I just love his writing), remembering my trip to that salina, here's my haiku and a memory of that place:

 

 

I hope you'll enjoy this haiku, because I really enjoyed that short but beautiful trip.

I'm also adding two links to my recently published poems: 4and20poetry where my poems opens this month's edition (happy!) and to my "Sharpening the green pencil" entry. I'll render the ones from Sharpening the green pencil, since these are harder to find:

 

streight road to nadir -

the anchor of the past

is lost on the sky

 

(drum drept spre nadir -

ancora trecutului

pierduta pe cer)

 

 

 

day in and day out

nature watching from the window -

apart from the world

 

(zi dupa zi

privind natura de la geam -

distant de lume)
