CARPE DIEM TIME GLASS #31: Sunflower

inspiration from Basho:

first celebrate

the flowers in your heart

Translated by Jane Reichhold

from Kristjaan:

grateful

first cherry blossom

in the moonlight

my heart’s winter sun

lives on with images of

summer’s sunflower

sharing with Kristjaan's

Hoosier Quote:

“There is everything in a name.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet,

but would not cost half as much during the winter months.”
