Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
First this ... I have published our prompt-list for our first Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Tan Renga Challenge Month November 2013. It has become a wonderful list, not at least by all the wonderful haiku, but also by you all who have granted me permission to use their haiku for the first stanzas of the Tan Renga. So our upcoming month we have made together ... as a real haiku-family.
Second ... I am a bit behind with commenting.
Third ... If you have prompt suggestions? Please share them in the prompt suggestion section of our Haiku Kai.
Fourth ... I am busy to prepare new features and I am thinking about a kind a Haiku Kai Forum on which you can ask questions, can start a discussion or talk about your haiku.
Today we have a nice prompt provided by Patricia, forgiveness. Forgiveness speaks for itself, so no need to write an extended post today. I just leave it this way and wish you all fun and inspiration to write haiku on forgiveness. For this episode I have tried to write a tanka ... I hope you like it.

I know I'm too late to link up but writing a haiku in response has been really healing today, thanks http://llmcalling.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/forgiveness.html
