Carpe Diem "Time Glass" #7, "Valley Stream"

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Time flies when you have fun or have been very busy. It's time again for our time challenge "Time Glass" in which we have to respond within 12 hours after publishing.
This week I have a Time Glass episode with a twist.
This week I have a photo and a haiku for your inspiration. You have to use both of them to write an all new haiku, with a second stanza !! So the goal is to write a "Solo"- Tan Renga.

Here is the photo:

Maui Hawaii

And here is the haiku to use next to the photo for your inspiration to write an all new `solo` Tan Renga.

Well I hope this photo and haiku will inspire you enough to respond within 12 hours. Good luck and have fun!

This `Time Glass` episode starts NOW and will be open until Tuesday 21st October at 7.00 AM (CET), so you have just 12 hours !!

Carpe Diem Special #27, Onitsura's Valley Stream

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

It's halfway this month of Carpe Diem and I am already busy to prepare our new promptlist for our next month April. In that month I will become 50 yr and so there will be a few prompts referring to events which have occured in my life. And I love to share in that month haiku written by myself for the Carpe Diem Specials if that's ok with you of course.

Today another haiku poet is the composer of our Special. Onitsura (1660-1738) was a physician and a haiku poet. He has written wonderful haiku and this one is one of my favorites. So have fun, let the haiku by Onitsura be your source of inspiration and write your haiku inspired on the one by Onitsura (and maybe in his Spirit).

stones also are singing their songs

Well ... have fun, be inspired and share your haiku with our community. This prompt will stay on 'til March 19th 11.59 AM (CET) and I will post our new episode, Aomugi (green barley), later on today around 10.00 PM (CET).
