Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
It's my pleasure to bring a new episode of our Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu feature. Last week we traveled back in time and this week I love to do that again.
This week I love to challenge you with a quote. There was a special feature at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, titled "Use that Quote". As you will understand the goal is to create a haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry form inspired on a quote.
I love to challenge you with a quote by Lord Byron:
" There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where
none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more."
Quote by: Lord Byron

Here is my attempt to create a haiku inspired on this quote
wandering
all senses open
a forest walk
all senses open
a forest walk

This Tokubetsudesu episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until July 3rd at noon (CET). I will (try to) publish our new episode, Portugal, later on. For now ... enjoy the challenge.
Share your haiku inspired on the quote by Lord Byron with us all here at our Haiku Kai.
