Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
As I look back into the not so long ago past of Carpe Diem Haiku Kai than I see how much joy you all have in creating haiku, tanka and other Japanese poetry forms, but I was really surprised to see all your responses on Carpe Diem's Crossroads, our special feature in which you have to create a so called "fusion"-haiku from two given haiku.
This episode of Crossroads I love to challenge you to create a "fusion"-haiku from two haiku by our beloved Jane Reichhold (1937-2016). She was one of our co-hosts and she is still missed dearly. So let's say this Crossroads episode is a small tribute to Jane Reichhold.

I have chosen two beautiful haiku from her online dictionary of haiku:
coming to sea cliffs
the off-shore breeze raises
a flower fragrance
out of a wave
rainbows of high tide
arching wind

Two beauties I think to work with ... it is up to you now ...
This Crossroads episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until May 27th at noon (CEST) ... have fun!
Try to create a fusion haiku with the two haiku by Jane Reichhold and share that "fusion" haiku with us all here at our Kai.
