Restarting Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

 

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

It has been a very long time that I posted something in our Haiku Kai. I had a very busy time and several private issues that withold me from being creative and publishing in here. 

I hope to restart Carpe Diem Haiku Kai next month. That means I hope to start publishing on monday until friday, 5 posts a week. I miss creating and publishing for you my dear Haijin, visitors and travelers and I hope you can forgive me.

As you can see above I recently started to create Art with Artificial Intelligence, I love creating with AI and I certainly will use AI-creations (by myself) in our upcoming posts.

July will be a month full of Summer kigo taken from Jane Reichholds Saijiki and I hope to publish our first post Monday July 3rd late evening on Sunday July 2nd. You can respond and add your haiku, tanka, kyoka or other Japanese poetry form in our linking widget.

For now:

finally summer
our family castle
reflects in the pond

Have a wonderful week and we will see eachother, hopefully, next Monday July 3rd.

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai #1856: Restarting?

 Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

First of all this: Happy New Year. I hope this new year, the 3rd in a global pandemic, will become a far better year than 2021.

The world is on fire. Everywhere on the Earth we see people rising up against their governments. All are up to make the world a better place than it is right now. Our world is no longer that world we know off, where we live in.

Every day again I wake up asking the same questions: What is going to happen with our wonderful world? Will the pandemic finally come to an end? Or ...

It makes me sad to see how our world is changing into one big battlefield of communities within communities, vaxxed and non-vaxxed stand up to each other. Families are ripped apart, our world is no longer a place of freedom and peace, but public ground of the wealthy few that are striving for The Great Reset. Covid-19 ... that global pandemic ... is orchestrated by just the wealthy few. And it's not from a recent date, no ... far before the WHO called out for the Covid-19 pandemic, this was already on the agenda.

Sounds like a conspiracy theory? Maybe it is, maybe it is not. I don't know. It gives me, as the germans call it "ein unheimliches gefull". 

As I read posts on several socials it gives me the chills. And again that question comes in mind: What is going on in the world.

Yesterday I posted a haiku on our Carpe Diem Haiku Kai twitter-account and I love to reproduce it here again:

A New Day Rises

a world in flames
reaching to regain freedom
a new day rises

In every haiku ... there can be a silent hope for a new world, a new day. Let us pray that this world fire will end soon ..

Carpe Diem #1846 Trying to restart again

 

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Welcome at a new episode of our Haiku Kai. This time I hope really to restart our Haiku Kai by posting on weekdays.

For this episode I have chosen the title "Trying To Restart Again" and I really hope it will be that way. Restarting is something we all know or have had experiences with I think. For example: After the bankrupcy of the hospital were I was working I had to restart at a new facility of healthcare. It took some time to adjust to that new workplace, but now (2,5 years further) I have adjusted and I even could change several things in the policy of the facility.

Or ... after the death of my mom I had to adjust to a new kind of living. That took more of my time, because I am the only one left now of my family, say "an orphan" now. Ofcourse I have my own family together with my wife and children, but the family in which I grew up isn't no longer there.

Two examples of restarting your life. That's the idea behind this theme for today's episode.

a new day rises
birds praising their Creator -
the cry of a baby
