Carpe Diem Haiku Kai is featuring quatrains from The Rubaiyat by Omar Khayyam with extensive background and interpretive suggestions. Fire of Spring, quatrain 7, is featured in Episode #1298:
Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring
The Winter Garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To fly – and Lo! the Bird is on the Wing
© Omar Khayyam (Tr. FitzGerald)
My responses:
flock wings up
from a web of barren boughs
sparks of winter
~
now night falls,
engulfing short days,
quenching a
frozen sun,
I recall this life is spring–
fire blazes still

Thank you very much Denis…at first glance I thought your comment was to be about “going off the deep end” ;)(different meaning)—not sure if that expression, meaning going crazy, is used in your locale (?) (please excuse my morning ramblings)
