Carpe Diem #1840 Hoarfrost

 

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Finally a few days off. So time to publish a new post in our wonderful Haiku Kai. This month our theme is "autumn leaves". We are already running to winter here on the Northern hemisphere, so we have had already our first hoarfrost. That fragile kind of frost created by fog ... so I thought we can create haiku about "hoarfrost".

The task for today is to create a Troiku with this haiku written by your host. It has been a while that I asked you to create a Troiku, so if you have forgotten what a Troiku is, you can find a description above in the menu.

A nice theme I would say. So it's up to you all to create a Troiku with the given haiku. This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until November 29th at 10:00 pm (CET). You can add your submission to the linking widget hidden in our logo below.

Carpe Diem #1839 colors of life

 

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

I have to apologize again. We have a new Covid outbreak and so I am (again) very busy with work. I know you all accept it as I not publish, but it feels somewhat ... sad that I disappoint you all (again) by not publishing as I had hoped.

This month I have chosen the theme "autumn leaves", and as it says it's all about kigo for autumn. Today I have chosen the theme "colors of life" and that has to do with autumn, but also with life itself.

Everyone lives her or his life with a kind of vision, a spiritual one maybe, but it can be a vision of love or of making carreer. My life is very colorful with all the things I am doing. Ofcourse there is my family, my children and grandchilderen. And than there is my job as an oncology nurse and last, but certainly not least ... there is Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, that beautiful family of haijin.

Carpe Diem #1838 Blue Moon

 

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

First my apologies for not publishing this week. We have a new Covid outbreak and, as you all know, as a nurse that brings a lot of work. But today I have found a little bit of time to create a post for your inspiration.

Yesterday (October 31st) we had a Blue Moon, a second full moon in one month. So today's theme is to create a haiku, tanka, troiku or other Japanese poetry form themed "Blue Moon".

This time it was even more special, because this second full moon occurred on Haloween, spooky and magical I would say.

I think it's a nice theme.
