Carpe Diem goes "Full Circle" #3, Mirror

Dear haijin, visitors and travelers,

I decided to publish one "Full Circle" episode here at our Carpe Diem Haiku Kai to introduce it to you all.

Today our third episode of  ''Full Circle'', a special feature at our Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Special weblog,  and the goal is to write haiku with the twelve (12) words I will give. It's a kind of word-whirl and you have to use the words given in the clock-wise direction. So every word has to come in the line of it's place on the clock e.g. mirror you have to use for line one (1) and leaves for line two (2) and so on.

I will give you twelve (12) words (for every ''hour'') one word. The goal is to write haiku using the words as given in the clock wise way.

Here are the 12 (twelve) words for this new episode:

1. mirror

2. leaves

3. rain

4. butterfly

5. chrysanthemum

6. breeze

7. stars

8. clouds

9. ocean

10. daisies

11. cow shed

12. secret

If you follow the words clock wise than you can compose four new haiku. This feature is just for fun and I hope you will as much enjoy it as I did have fun and joy to create it.

the sound of rain
