Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
It has been a while that I challenged you here at Haiku Shuukan, part of the wonderful Carpe Diem Haiku Kai family of haiku poets. Recently I changed the theme at our "homepage" Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. I started this month with the Quran and now we are reading the wonderful poetry by Rumi, a 13th century Persian poet and mystic.
This week I love to challenge you to create a haiku or tanka inspired on a given quote. This time I have chosen a quote by Rumi.

just around the corner
no one sees it

Share your Japanese poetry inspired on this quote by the Mystical Poet Rumi with us all here at our Haiku Shuukan.
