Carpe Diem 1149 Imagine Fuji Yama

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

I haven't a lot of time at the moment so I have taken the easy way this time. I love to challenge you with a wonderful image for your inspiration. So you can say this is a Carpe Diem Imagination episode.

I have found a beautiful photo of Fuji Yama, the Holy Mountain of Japan and I hope it can inspire you to create haiku or tanka.

To help you a little bit I have a few haiku by Issa and Basho:

little snail
inch by inch, climb
Mount Fuji!

a Mt. Fuji viewing spot
for barley harvesters -
nettle tree

is one ridge
clouded with winter showers?
Fuji in snow

especially when
it comes into view -
Fuji in Fifth Month

And of course I had to create one myself, so here it is ...

reflections
the snow capped peek
dives into the lake

Well ... this episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until February 13th at noon (CET). Have fun!

Share your haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry form inspired on this beautiful scene from Japan with us all here at our Haiku Kai.
