Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Another day in our Carpe Diem paradise has started. Today another prompt suggestion provided by Bjorn Brudberg of Bjorn Brudbergs Writings 'Heath'. I think this one will bring wonderfully composed haiku ... what do you think?
Heath? It's low growing bush, always green and flowering with white, purple and blue colors. It's also a surname for boys (man). In my country, The Netherlands, we have wonderful outstretched heath fields as you can see here after.
outstretched field
in wonderful colors
shepherd with his flock
shepherd with his flock
wandering every day over the heath -
like an anchoret
like an anchoret
I am wandering in my mind
over silent heath

A wonderful set I think, how immodest, but I like this set very much. I am looking forward to your haiku inspired on heath. Have fun, be inspired and share your haiku with us here on Carpe Diem.
This prompt will stay on 'til January 25th 11.59 AM (CET) and I will post our new episode of Carpe Diem, 'silk', later on today around 10.00 PM (CET).
The heath and contemplative shepherd is a nice, philosophical thought..yes, nice ones, very much..
ReplyDeleteThe heath can be so colourful and so bare! Amazing contrasts! But always there is a sense of silence! Lovely haiku!
ReplyDeleteWonderful haiku here. I'm so happy for this word. It was a prompt in a word game in twitter and I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun prompt - I had to learn about heath before writing. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the other entries yet. But thanks for the prompt, which made me reminiscing Kate Bush's song.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kristjaan for sharing more of your wonderful haiku. I learn every time.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bjorn for the prompt (and your marvellous interpretation of it)
Thank you Carpe Diem contributors for stimulating my days :)
I had to do some homework for this one. Never too old to learn.
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd never figure this one out...I'm with highfiveandraspberries ..never to old to learn...and to find out, heath has been around me, I just didn't know it !
ReplyDeleteThanks to all of you who educated me with your posts also...I learned a lot reading them all.
