Hoedingen

Hoedingen.jpg is a small resort on the shores of Lake Bodensee (also known as Lake Constance). Hoedingen, a northern part of the district and town of Ueberlingen, is a quiet, beautiful place, where you can hear the sound of the wind, the grapes expand and fill with mouthwatering juice, the sound of the grass growing…

‘soft fruit’ #21 July 2013

NaHaiWriMo prompt: moon

From the Farmers’ Almanac:

“July is normally the month when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur. It was also often called the Full Thunder Moon, for the reason that thunderstorms are most frequent during this time. Another name for this month’s Moon was the Full Hay Moon.”

Posted on Kirsten Cliff’s blog, Swimming in Lines of Haiku, 18 July 2013, in response to her July challenge, “I Quote, You ‘Ku.” Today’s quote was:
“Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.”
~Rabindranath Tagore

(The challenge, in Kirsten’s own words:
“… is to write a haiku or tanka (or choose one of your previously published works) that has a connection with the themes/feelings/images of the above quote, without just restating what has appeared in the text, to create a haibun. Play around with it and see what you come up with. Enjoy!”)
