Carpe Diem #1068 camellia





Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,


In this penultimate episode I have a nice series of haiku for you extracted from "A Dictionary of Haiku" by Jane Reichhold. Today our prompt is camellia and I think we have had that prompt earlier in our existence.

Here are the haiku by Jane for your inspiration:


a camellia
floating in our conversation
unspoken thoughts


curved petals
from the camellia-scented candle
dripping wax


knocked off by rain
camellias bloom again
in the puddles

Camellia
A short episode, but I had not enough time to create a big post.


This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until October 3rd at noon (CET). I will publish our last episode of September, leafless trees, later on. For now .... have fun!


PS. I have published our new promptlist for October, in which we will celebrate our 4th anniversary.



Share your haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry form inspired on camellia with us all here at our Haiku Kai.

  1. Congrats on a sensitive month of remembrance. I hope some colleagues can do some reading of haiku this month, and that we grow by inviting friends and welcoming some back. Remember the season words; and cutting words colleagues! I hope to read interesting haiku and hope also that the really good haiku I read are also read by some others.
