Life Is But A Day

Stop and consider! life is but a day;
A fragile dew-drop on its perilous way
From a tree’s summit.

A Fresh-Blown Musk-Rose

I saw the sweetest flower wild nature yields,
A fresh-blown musk-rose; ’twas the first that threw
Its sweets upon the summer: graceful it grew.

~ John Keats

Refreshing Beauty

Morning spectacle:
Dewdrops from pink bells dripping:
Refreshing beauty.

Watching the vast sea,
I see the bright sun rising,
Erasing darkness.

Facing the bright sun,
Firmly the sunflower stands,
Defying darkness.

Blending With Your Scent

Blending with your scent,
Like sweat these sweet dewdrops drip
From you, fragrant rose.

Sweet cherry blossom,
As I gaze at your beauty,
This haiku blossoms.

What is a haiku?
The essence of a moment
Concisely conceived.

Sweetly Singing

Amid the green leaves,
An enchanting nightingale
Is sweetly singing.

The soul of the rose,
The fragrance of her essence,
Enkindles my soul.

That Sweet Odour

The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem
For that sweet odour which doth in it live.

The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem
For that sweet odour which doth in it live.

Dawn Is On The Way

Standing by the sea,
I see the sun descending:
Dawn is on the way.

This Thing Of Beauty

This thing of beauty,
This sweet-scented orange rose,
Tenderly I kiss.
