Into the Night: A Rengay with Cara Holman

Into the Night

Cara Holman & Kirsten Cliff

garden party

moths flitter

around the lantern

fairy dust

in her hair

pixie ring

dancing long

into the night

koi pond

the children hunt

for mermaids

tinkling laughter

clusters of coral bells

dark lantern

still the heady scent

of wild jasmine

This rengay was written especially for Aubrie Cox's solstice Yay Words! project featuring faerie folk and lanterns. You can download 'Winged Moon' here and take your time to enjoy this beautiful collection of short form poetry and artwork. Thanks to Cara for writing with me, and to Aubrie for inspiring us with her fun projects that are bringing our on-line haiku community together in exciting new ways! :)

New Year's Dragonfest

A big THANK YOU to Aubrie Cox for sparking my imagination with her call for dragon/water/fire haiku, tanka, haiga and such like!

the water dragon

swimming through

my lines of haiku

flicks a tail at the sight

of his lover's name

dragon fire...

the way he moves me

this night

black robes dance

around the ritual circle

earth - air - water - fire

I draw in a dragon's breath

to lead the chant

dragon daydream

the streaks of fire

in her hair

The New Year's Day blog post celebrating the beginning of 2012 (which is the Year of the Dragon) can be downloaded from Yay Words! I'm sure you'll enjoy this magical mix of artwork and short form poetry that has become The Language of Dragons.

One Hundred Times

open casket

          her hair still soft
          she used to brush it
          one hundred times
          before bed
