Carpe Diem #1703 skinny dipping in the moonlight

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

I don't know if this prompt is "to much" for CDHK, because here at CDHK ... nudity isn't something to mention, but I think in our modern time ... skinny dipping in the moonlight ... is an accepted activity in the heat of summer. Or maybe ... I could have chosen to use "nude beach" for today, but I just liked the idea of "skinny dipping in the moonlight". So maybe ... this prompt is really "to much" for you, but ... well sometimes you have to take risks.

I love to challenge you to create your haiku or tanka themed "skinny dipping in the moonlight". It's a nice theme I think, but ... you can (ofcourse) decide to choose another theme in the same sense, like "moonlight swimming" or something.

This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until July 22nd at noon (CEST). I will try to publish our new episode later on. For now ... enjoy the moonlight swim.

Carpe Diem #1484 pouring rain

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

What a joy to bring you all a new episode of our wonderful Kai. This place is for you. During the years of our existence, almost six years, we have become a warmhearted family of haiku-loving Haijin. And that makes me proud. I thank you all for being part of this warmhearted family and I hope we will be here as we are celebrating our 10th anniversary in 2022, but that's for later.

Again it is tropical weather here in The Netherlands, today temperatures rose to almost 40 degrees Celsius, to much to handle for the Dutch people. Nature needs water, we need water ... but it looks like that will be faraway for us. We need rain .... a lot of rain.

I really hope that there will be rain very soon, because we the Dutch ... need water, not only for our selves, but also for nature.

This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until August 2nd at noon (CEST). I will try to publish our nesxt episode, a new weekend meditation, later on. For now ... have fun!
