Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Sometimes I don't have a clue to write about for our prompts. Our prompt for today, puddles, is such a prompt ... I really don't know what to write about puddles to introduce the episode to you all.
So I just stay at this point ... our prompt is puddles and it is up to you to write/compose a haiku (or tanka) and share it with us in a haiga.
Puddles ... they remind me at my childhood ... how many times I jumped in puddles after a rain shower? Often very often. I remember that my brother and I jumped in puddles often and certainly after a hot summer day ... than we danced in the rain (almost naked) to become free of the heat ... yes those are nice memories. I have made a haiga from an archived haiku ... so here is my haiga for this episode:
feeling a kid again
jumping in the puddles of spring -
soaked 'til the bone

I hope you all do enjoy this Haiga Festival month and I hope that you all liked this episode.
This episode is open for your submissions tonight at 7.00 PM (CET) and will remain open until March 9th at noon (CET). I will (try to) publish our next episode, a nice new episode of our Time Machine feature - kites, later on. For now ... have fun!
Share your haiga inspired on puddles with us all here at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, the place to be if you like to write and share haiku ... have fun!
