cruise boats glow neon colors
night life’s lights shimmer
piano music jazzes
river walk laughter ripples

Folk music from southern Italy featured on Carpe Diem Haiku Kai .
feel venomous bite
pain and fevered frenzy rise
dance of wolf spider
son plays piano music
fingers bounce faster–faster!
Concertino – Germaine Tailleferre

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai’s December theme, Let the Music Inspire You
december snowflakes
floating past, catch on warm tongue
flurries dissipate
low style or high class?

Earlier insulted by
tinkering piano tuner
who mumbled something
about cheaper instruments’
mediocre sound quality,
the small piano swells
with dissonant rage
when unaware student
pounds out Bieber hit
instead of fingering
classical masterpiece.
In elegant contrast,
the gracious silver
coffeepot keeps her
serene composure,
never spilling hot
drop when filling
embarassingly silly
souvenir shop mug
sporting older couple
on beach with words,
“Iowa is for Lovers”.

when my son fingers those keys,
notes of Beethoven or Debussy
float like delicate butterflies to
bring happy summer to my ears
like sweet notes of summer, our
time flutters by on soft wings as
his beard appears… soon Nevue’s
music on my piano may fall silent
