Weekly Photo Challenge: Path

Following a path through the woods,
An ardent desire has gone back to your heart.
Quickening the steps involuntarily,
You just remember an empty cart.
It is the time to look back to the path you have been.
because you have mostly caught the goal to be seen.

As you know my native language is not English but Japanese. This year I have tried to write haiku or shot poems in English with unfamiliar words for me. I hope it went well.

母語は日本語だが、今年はなるべく普段は使わない単語を含んだ短い詩を書くよう試してきた。少しでもうまくいったのなら良いのだが。

Let us open our leaves like a flower, and be passive and receptive.
花のように葉を広げ、受容性と感受性を持とう。
– John Keats  キーツ

Would you like to join the little tiny flowers? It’s easy. There are only two rules and one option.

1 Create a ltf (little tiny flowers) post including a picture and a quote about flowers.
2 Title your blog post with “l.t.f.” (also can be “little tiny flowers”) or add a tag #ltf to make it easier for others to find it.
3 When the words you chose were not written in English, please consider adding English translation. It’s, of course, optional and up to you.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Anticipation

with eager anticipation,
looking out of smudged window,
anxiety over imagination.

The picture was taken newly after I posted similar one. I felt someone gazing vacantly at the sea but with anticipation. It was just a scuttle – rounded window – of an old ocean liner but must have a story.

Instead of answering to the question “what are you waiting for”, I’d like to say what I’m looking for; it’s a creative imagination required for writing a story.
