Carpe Diem: Leo

Carpe Diem

The king's spirit lives

true savana royalty 

nature's pure hunter

Nature's pure hunter

undefeated in his kingdom

a fair fight is his

A fair fight is his

a gun steels his throne away

regal tragedy

Regal tragedy

trophy hunter's hollow pride

shoots him from the truck

Shoots him from the truck

the "great white hunter" prevails

The king's spirit lives

Carpe Diem: Blossom

I got a chance to read up on some Japanese culture and the symbolic meaning of the cherry blossom.  

Very cool. 

I am sharing what I found in Haiku. 

The cherry blossom

delicate fragility

a moment in time

A moment in time

life and death are in balance

like the falling snow

Like the falling snow 

the life of a samurai

the cherry blossom
