Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu #84 Back In Time "Carpe Diem Full Circle"

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

It is Wednesday again and that means ... Tokubetsudesu time ... This Wednesday I love to go back in time, not very far in our history, but to somewhere in 2014. In that year I introduced an all new part of the CDHK family in which I offered you only Special features. One of those special features was "Carpe Diem Full Circle".

In that special feature I gave you 12 words (like a wordle), but every word corresponded with one of the numbers on a clock. For example: 1 on the clock was "spring", 2 on the clock was "cherry" and so on. The goal was to create haiku with the given words following clockwise. For example: If "spring" was at number 1, you had to start your new haiku with a sentence in which you used "spring".

I love to challenge you today with the following 12 words which you have to use following the numbers on the clock, clockwise.

Here are the 12 words you have to use:

1. summer
2. princess
3. willow
4. oasis
5. palmtree(s)
6. camels
7. cruise-ship
8. snow
9. rainbow
10. yellow
11. shrine
12. prayer (or praying)

Willow (Bonsai)

As you follow these words than you can create four (4) new haiku. Let me give you an example with the first three words:

hot summer day
the young princess and her lover
hiding under the willow

I hope you understand the idea behind this challenge and I am looking forward to your responses. Have fun!
