Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
When I started with Carpe Diem I asked others to suggest prompts for this daily haiku meme. Dulcina of Dulcina's Garden was one of them. Today we have a prompt which is suggested by Dulcina. Today's prompt is cave. Not an easy one, but every prompt has it's difficulties.
I have sought for haiku with 'cave' in it. On www.poetry.com I found the next haiku written by Cindy O'Nanski:
come on in my friends
welcome to our cozy cave
handcrafted with love
(c) Cindy O'Nanski
Or this one written by George E. Thompson is titled 'ice cave'. I found this one on Gather.com :
many icicles
majestic wonder viewing
cold breathing freezes
(c) George E. Thompson
Another one which I found on a wordpress-blog:
silence and beauty
cold water transparency
vision awakens
Source: haiku of Ana (the cave)
Just a few examples of cave-haiku. I have tried it myself:
high in the mountains
living in his own cave
an anchoret
an anchoret
far from civilization
his mountain cave
Not an easy prompt today ... but what a joy as read this haiku I share here with you ... awesome! (How immodest.)
