My Dog`s death "Oscar" 2000 -2009, a Haiku

time shared
years of joy ended
 love complited

like a shadow
 friend never left one ince
two in one

green plains
and snowy winter
enjoyed togehter

left is
only your empty basket
sorrow

My dog Oscar, walked as my dearest friend along my side every day, trusting complitely in me. He was sick, but dident know that I had to take him to the Vet and put him down. This was hurting me totaly...and will still do a long time. Yes, it hurts very much.....words is empty at this state of mind.....

Ikebana - death; Haiku......

all life
is sacred
tiny flower


death occurs
when the stem of the flower
breaks


Ikebana
admiration of death
 cruelty

gentle waltz
early autumn leaf's
 distant admiration

Haiku by Roy Lindquist

As I am getting older, I feel all life is sacred, and even cutting flower's make me feel I shorten a life I am not allowed to do.

Its possible this is very controversial to say, but I cant stop thinking of it...

We admire a beautiful flower arrangement like Ikebana, but what do we really admire.....

I like better then Bonzai ( perhaps ) ....

This is unique I think ...a blue aquarium...live:

passion
long gone
selfishness

Precious gift: Haiku by Roy Lindquist

 

fresh air
after evenings rain
insect sound

traffic noise
toil the garden wall
steal harmony

modern life
poor of night sound beauty
sunk in poverty

sing
my little bell cricket
precious gift
