Yesterday, Pastor John Lee preached on this text and reminded us that although God might not calm the storm outside, or quiet the storm inside us, Jesus always remains with us “in the boat”.

Challenge at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai to create a“fusion” haiku from the given classic haiku and then create a Troiku series of three with using lines of”fusion” haiku:
the water-fowl
pecks and shivers
the moon on the waves
© Zuiryu
scooping up the moon
in the wash bassin,
and spilling it
© Ryuho
I kept hanging the moon
on the pine tree, and taking it off,
gazing at it the while
© Hokushi
i gaze at full moon
rising thru pine tree’s needles,
caught in silhouette
on ripples of waves,
docked boat gently rocking as
moonlight washes shore
white egret shimmers
while pecking in moon water,
scoops up silver fish

“Tan renga” chained together for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, where Delores wrote a beautiful haiku reminding me of poem by Eugene Fields and park sculpture.
clouds and waves
carry my dreams away
tugging my anchor

drift along in private boat
of winkin’ blinkin’ and nod

droplets
of water,
miniscule
seconds
of time
collected into
myriad foaming
minutes
of salty brine
spraying wildly
off crests
of rolling
hours;
incessant waves,
pounding out
days
upon the shore.
an ocean
relentlessly
reclaiming
sands of
years
in wrinkling
imprint on
beaches strand,
leaving us
with shiny
scattered
bits & pieces,
of shells;
lives
iridescent
memories.
we pick up
the pretty
moments,
turning
these over
in our hands
to take home
for display
in pint jars
upon shelves,
but best to
leave slimy
clumps of
seaweed
to dry to
brittleness
with the
passage
of time.
