My 100th Post of 2010 for OSI & HH

Written for

Haiku Heights Prompt: Bliss
OSI Prompt: Joie De Vivre



Bliss



Rose opens up and
Butterfly sips happiness
Wow, what a bliss!


Added Later:


Flowers' morning talk
Butterflies blissfully listen to
Naughty secrets..


************


My Joie de vivre

Sun on the horizon
Just lifts up its face to
Look around, before
Climbing up the wall

Petals of rose
Gather in a huddle
Wishing good luck
Before opening up

Hugging blades of grass
Dew drops pray together
Before getting wiped out
By making feet wet

Birds leave their nests
Say hello to each other
Hopping from tree to tree
Before exploring the day

Cheery breeze
Carries & spreads aroma
Of half baked dreams
Before teasing damsel’s hair

Tall trees with humility
Bow their heads
Greeting nature’s splendor
Before shunning dry leaves

Lilies beckon and
Butterflies dance
Before children’s little fingers
Passionately Pursue them

Gleaming sun rays
Touch my face
Whispering in my ears
‘Have a happy day!’

That’s how it begins
Every morning; and life smiles
Ah, my joy of living
My Joie de vivre…
