Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Children are a joy and a pain in the a.., but I can't live without them.. I have four kids and six grandchildren and I love it when they're all at home. Than it's a party and a joy to spend time with them.
I love to have my children and grandchildren around.
Today we share haiku on 'Children'. I am looking forward to all of your wonderful haiku on todays prompt.
children playing
making a snowman in the frontyard -
Ah! What a joy.
Ah! What a joy
to have all my children
around me
around me
on the outstretched beach
children playing
This prompt will stay on 'till January 11.59 AM (CET) and I will post our new (and last) Carpe Diem Special by our haiku master Shiki later on today around 10:00 PM (CET)
The new Special by Shiki are the following haiku:
tsuridoko ni irihi mori kuru shigemi kana
the evening sun
filters through the undergrowth
onto the hanging bed
and:
rai harete ichiju nu yuki semi no koe
the thunderstorm having cleared up
the evening sun shines on a tree
where a cicada is chirping
Just watching children play lifts the spirits! Lovely haiku!
