Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
It's my pleasure to bring a new episode of our Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu feature. Last week we traveled back in time and this week I love to do that again.
This week I love to challenge you with a quote. There was a special feature at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, titled "Use that Quote". As you will understand the goal is to create a haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry form inspired on a quote.
I love to challenge you with a quote by Lord Byron:
" There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where
none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more."
Quote by: Lord Byron
Quote by: Lord Byron
Lord Byron (1788-1824) |
Here is my attempt to create a haiku inspired on this quote
wandering
all senses open
a forest walk
all senses open
a forest walk

This Tokubetsudesu episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until July 3rd at noon (CET). I will (try to) publish our new episode, Portugal, later on. For now ... enjoy the challenge.
