Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
What a day ... we have celebrated our 250th prompt and I am already busy with our next months. September will be another month full of classical Japanese kigo and in October we have another celebration, because in that month we will celebrate our first anniversary. That will be a great month I think in which I will only use the prompt suggestions you all have given me in our prompt suggestion section. If you have suggestions? Please share them and maybe I will use them in October.

This picture is from a wonderful website about The Zen Spirit a website with content which empathizes with Zen-Buddhism, one of the pillars of haiku. Today we share haiku on Mystical and I think you all can write haiku for this prompt. It's a prompt perfectly fitting Carpe Diem, because of the roots of haiku. So I am looking forward to all of your wonderful inspired haiku.

I feel the love through Carpe Diem
with haijin everywhere
with haijin everywhere
mysticism will grow further

A nice cascading haiku I think (how immodest). It was really a joy to prepare this episode for you all my dear Haijin, visitors and travelers. This prompt will be open 'til July 22th 11.59 AM (CET) and I will post our new episode of Carpe Diem, ecstasy, later on today (7/21) around 8.00 PM (CET). !! Mystical is open for submissions at 8.00 PM (CET) !!
It's amazing what you have achieved and how the haiku have developed in our little group. My dreaming eyes are locked at the horizon by your words here.
ReplyDeleteBtw I will be absent for a few weeks - enjoy and have fun - I have programmed a few entries for anyone to enjoy ;-)
DeleteHow lovely your haiku about your haijin...us ♥
ReplyDeleteMy eyes too are locked on the horizon and expecting to continue day by day with the haiku community you curate here!
ReplyDeleteAnother milestone passed Kristjaan. Thank you for guiding us through our journey.
ReplyDeleteI've found it difficult with this month's prompts to keep the haiku relevant to everyday life. This one I thought would be impossible but turned out the most enjoyable. How apt...
ReplyDeleteSometimes I can give it the old college try and come up with something... a first draft or at least an attempt...struck out this time...zero mystical" ideas.
ReplyDeleteKeep 'em coming Kris, ... some day I'll have an "ah ha" moment with the subject.
Peace
Siggi
