Carpe Diem Special #109, Words by Francis of Assisi 4


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

This is our last CD Special of this month. I have found another nice quote by Francis of Assisi for your inspiration. I hope you do like it and that it will inspire you to write an all new haiku, senryu, tanka or kyoka.

[...] “A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.” [...]

This is a great quote and I think it's almost a haiku ... here is my attempt to write an all new haiku inspired on this quote by Francis.

moving shadows
as the sun climbs to his throne -
Peter Pan was here

Hm ... not a strong one, but I have tried to bring some humor in it. And ... humor isn't my "cup of tea".

This episode is open for your submissions tonight at 7.00 PM (CET) and will remain open until September 30th at noon (CET). I will try to post our next episode, mushrooms, later on. For now ... have fun!

  2. I love your haiku, I could see the shadow slowly shrink,then a veil of glow take over. Peter Pan added to the smile in my inner child...c'est parfait!

  3. It's great to embrace that inner child every once in a while, isn't it? :)
