Carpe Diem Extra August 15th 2018 2nd edition of the CDHK Troiku Kukai


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

It has been a while that I organized a kukai, but that will change today. I invite you to participate in our 2nd edition of the CDHK Troiku Kukai. What is the goal of the Troiku Kukai? I will give you an haiku from a modern or a classical haiku poet and you have to create a Troiku with it. More on Troiku you can find above in the menu. Troiku is a creative way of haiku-ing invented by myself back in 2012. I know that several of you are caught by this new creative way of haiku-ing and that you enjoy creating Troiku.

This 2nd edition of the CDHK Troiku Kukai starts today and will run to September 15th 2018. You can email your Troiku to our emailadress: carpediemhaikukai@gmail.com Please write Troiku Kukai 2 in the subject line.

For this 2nd edition of the Troiku Kukai I have chosen a nice haiku by the classical master Yosa Buson (1716-1784). Separate the three lines and create a new haiku with every separated line. No need to follow the classical haiku rules, just enjoy creating Troiku.


Shell On The Beach (photographer unknown)

Here is the haiku to work with by Buson:

Springtime rain -- 
a little shell on a small beach, 
enough to moisten it

This 2nd edition of the CDHK Troiku Kukai is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until September 15th 2018 at noon (CEST).
Send your Troiku to: carpediemhaikukai@gmail.com Please write Troiku Kukai 2 in the subject line.

Have fun!

Your host,

Chèvrefeuille
