alone

Carpe Diem "Sparkling Stars" #8, 

Kikaku's "in the rays of the setting sun"

Inspiration haiku for today's Sparkling Stars.

in the rays of the setting sun

there flutters along the city street,

a butterfly

© Kikaku

alone, forgotten, 

only a common mountain flower 

to comfort me

© Yozakura

a lonely flower

my companion

for one night

© Chèvrefeuille (2005, first English haiku ever)

chilled fall breeze

alone, waiting spring's return

yellow warbler departs
