Master Buson... https://www.poemine.com/Yosa-Buson/biography/ Not one of his best Haiku, a very minimalistic effort. Enjoyed :)

Thanks for the link to Buson's bio. I liked the simplicity of the Haiku..This seems to be his style: https://www.masterpiece-of-japanese-...s#Winter_Poems

"Joy’s is the magic sweet," - Madison Cawein; Joy’s Magic ... https://www.poetrycat.com/madison-ju...ein/joys-magic

What has Parker got to do with Litnet games?

A hymn to the joy in old age. But if one is joyous why have thoughts of death?


"the kaleidoscope turns"."kaleidoscope" by Debby Rosenberg
https://www.authorsden.com/visit/vie...&AuthorID=6771

Lol. Parker comes up with ideas that astound me... while not my muse she offers inspiration :)

I agree. To have an eternal perspective on life keeps the gray away.
Addendum: I found out very recently a dear sister in Christ of mine passed on this morning... I posted a limerick poem in her honor... though it doesn't convey all my loss.

Enjoyed :) I haven't looked through a kaleidoscope in years and the poem you chose brought back that wonder :)

"Leave me a place underground, a labyrinth," - Pablo Neruda; Leave Me A Place Underground... https://allpoetry.com/Leave-Me-A-Place-Underground

I'm sorry for your friend. RIP

I am a bit at loss at Neruda's passionate poem.
