A “gentle scent of lavender” at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai today…
pillowed prayers’ peace
gentle scent of lavender
perfumes silent dreams
purple fields in evening praise
raise reverent cloistered blooms

A tan renga is written by two poets; first writes a haiku, second answers with 2 more lines…
in the moonlight
Wisteria flowers look fragile –
a gust of wind

lovers on bench hold kisses
lavender snow covers path

Abbey in France with lavender field-“Sénanque 06” by EmDee
Yon lavender fields forever
favorite perfume for supple skin
old clay jars laced with lavendar
mummy wrap fit for Egyptian.
flower heads added to bath warm
Yon lavender fields forever
cooking flavor for dish Roman;
this herb is centuries’ treasure.
queen’s procurer run shy, never
Victorian women freshen
Yon lavender fields forever
castle floors and drawers of linen.
essential oils for young living
de-stress with a drop whenever
smooth on pillowcase for sleeping
Yon lavender fields forever!

My first attempt at quatern form, linking to Toads’ lavender prompt.
Yon is a river in the country of France…where lavender is grown.
Quatern Poem: This French form has 16 lines broken up into 4 quatrains (or 4-line stanzas). Each line is comprised of eight syllables. The first line is the refrain. In the second stanza, the refrain appears in the second line; in the third stanza, the third line; in the fourth stanza, the fourth (and final) line.
