Carpe Diem #113, Joyful



Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Another day in haiku paradise. Yesterday we had our first Chiyo-Ni Special and I have read wonderful haiku nspired on the one I gave by Chiyo-Ni. It was a real joy to read and comment them. Well ... a nice 'bridge' to our prompt for today (smiles).
Today we share haiku on 'Joyful' and I hope that you all enjoy this prompt. I am looking forward to your 'joyful-haiku'.

A haiku by Issa:

matsu nae ya yagate tanin no yusuzumi

pine sapling -

before long, strangers enjoy
evening's cool



Another one also by Issa:

yo suzumi no yaku soku arishi kado no tsuki

keeping her appointment

to enjoy evening's cool air -
moon at the gate


Credits: Moon at the Gate

A last one by Issa:

urestuge ya kaki no ko take mo waka-zakari

Joyful!

the fence's little bamboo
at the peak of youth


Credits: Bamboo fence

Isn't it a joy to read those haiku? I wonder if I can write my own haiku on 'Joyful'?

joyful laughter
children playing on the beach -
dragonkite flying

in the frontyard
children play hide and seek -
kookaburra laughs

Awesome! What a joy to write haiku on joyful (smiles).

Have fun, be creative and inspired. Share your 'joyful-haiku' with Carpe Diem.

This prompt will stay on 'till February 6th 11.59 AM (CET) and I will post our new episode, Mariachi, later on today around 10.00 PM (CET). That will be our first prompt for a little musical trip around the world.

    1. Thanks for releasing my comments from the 'garbage-can'. I have heard that sometimes that happens and I don't know how that can happen.
