Haiku Shuukan (Shuukan means week in Japanese) is a weekly haiku-meme to write haiku with a given prompt. Haiku is a reflection in words used as a painting to describe a moment as short as the sound of a pebble thrown in water. ++ Haiku Shuukan is part of Carpe Diem Haiku Family ++

Another week has gone by and it's already time for our next episode of Haiku Shuukan. This week our prompt is opium and it needs no other introduction I guess.
I just will give you a wonderful photo of Red Poppies, you know that opium comes from these wonderful flowers. So be inspired ...
Another week has gone. here in The Netherlands it feels like we are in the tropics, because it's tropical warm/hot around 30 derees Celsius and we are enjoying it, notwithstanding the heat that's very moist and it certainly will bring thunderstorms and rain later today. I am looking forwars to the upcoming evening and night when the heat will be gone.
This week's prompt is Nocturnal or nighttime ... this needs no further explanation I think so let's do some hakui-ing.
after this hot day finally the cool of the night - dreaming of love

This week's prompt is Meander and it's not an easy one I think, but ... well take up the challenge and write, compose a haiku inspired on this week's prompt. You don't have to use the actual word, but there must be a reference toward it.
I found a wonderful example of a haiku inspired on ''meander''. It's written by a friend of me, Shashi S of Haiku today. Here it is:
meandering
in dark
forest of senses, souls walk
with karmic baggage
Another week has gone by and it's time for a new episode of Haiku Shuukan our weekly haiku-meme. Since I started my first Carpe Diem haiku-blog Carpe Diem has become a place to share haiku with the world. As you maybe know ... in 2012 I started with a daily haiku-meme at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai and soon I created a few more weblogs for haiku. Haiku is my passion and I think it's really an art to compose haiku.
Next to Haiku Shuukan and Carpe Diem Haiku Kai I have created a weblog titled ''Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Special'' were I challenge my visitors to write/compose haiku inspired by e.g. music or a picture. Or maybe you are inspired to write haiku based on a quote by a wellknown human e.g. Gandhi or Albert Einstein. That kind of challenges you can find at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Special.
This episode of Haiku Shuukan is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until next Friday at noon. Have fun, be inspired and share your laughter with us ...
Share your haiku, senryu, tanka or kyoka with us all here at Haiku Shuukan.
