Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
Not so long ago I was wandering along the beach. I was completely alone, it was warm, but no one was there ... So I decided to take of my clothes and take a skinny dip, all nude I ran into the surf. The water embraced me and welcomed me. It felt great ... of course I had to dry up, because I hadn't taken a towel with me. So I laid down on the warm sand feeling the sun on my body. After a while ... I don't know how long I felt that the sun was no longer warming me. As I opened my eyes I saw the most beautiful woman ever. She smiled at me and I could see that she enjoyed what she saw. Later that day we ended up at my apartment ...<br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1IF_ZHYR4sBjoabUAahgx5kh8YeWT4bM5OeNuQCkQbvzr7vqJlsOW1pX0cK8vutpdvLwAPWPaKPSVe3030ZukcT7DCnDG3nQ2wNS2Un4CRqUCt8EReDuDE_oC-CKFBgLFU7R_4qGsy5Y/s1600/rumiportrait.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="284" data-original-width="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1IF_ZHYR4sBjoabUAahgx5kh8YeWT4bM5OeNuQCkQbvzr7vqJlsOW1pX0cK8vutpdvLwAPWPaKPSVe3030ZukcT7DCnDG3nQ2wNS2Un4CRqUCt8EReDuDE_oC-CKFBgLFU7R_4qGsy5Y/s1600/rumiportrait.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Rumi, the Mystical Poet</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Here is the quote for your inspiration:<br />
<br />
<i>[...] "Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it." [...]</i> Rumi<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #674ea7;">garden of Eden<br />just around the corner<br />no one sees it</span></b><br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
A new Haiku Shuukan episode to inspire you. This time a short one, but I think a challenging one. Maybe you know today we had a second full moon in January, that means that we had a so called "Blue Moon", but it was not only a Blue Moon, it also was a "Super moon" and a total moon eclipse occurred also ... sciebntists have called this event "trifecta". It's a very rare thing that has occurred.<br />
<br />
So the theme for this week is "Blue Moon". And here is an example written by myself:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">it's a mystery</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">today a second full moon occurred</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">awesome ... Blue Moon</span></b><br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
Every post at our CDHK-family's weblogs I start with this sentence and I like that ... because all our participants are Haijin (haiku-poets), visitors who like Japanese poetry and than there are those people who just travel by to read. Isn't that a joy. I think this Haiku Shuukan episode speaks for itselves, because ... life at CDHK ... is wonderful.<br />

<br />
I like this song "Wonderful Life" and this video is really awesome to watch and to listen at. Let this music video inspire you to create a haiku (or tanka or other form of Japanese poetry) and share it with us all here at Haiku Shuukan, part of the haiku loving family Carpe Diem Haiku Kai.<br />
<br />
Have fun!<br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
Welcome at a new episode of Haiku Shuukan, our weekly haiku-meme, and for this week I have chosen the theme "cold wind" , because here we have a very cold east-wind. It feels very cold, almost -10 degrees Celsius. Well it's winter of course and this cold wind is not a surprise.<br />

Dear haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
Welcome at a new episode of our weekly haiku meme Haiku Shuukan. I have chosen for a 'simple' prompt this week. Sunrise ... every day again the sun rises to his (sun is male) throne ... in his chariot he travels along the sky every day from East to West ... We take this for granted, because it is creation.<br />
In several cultures, for example in Japanese Shinto tradition, the sun is the only God or as in the ancient Mayan culture. The sun is important for us all. He is de center of our galaxy ... he gives nature strenght and energy. Without him we would live in complete darkness ... without him we wouldn't exist. We need the sun ... so every day as he again starts his journey along the sky ... we are granted new life.<br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
It has been a very long time that I published here at Carpe Diem Haiku Shuukan, the weekly meme of the Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Family. I love to restart this weekly meme today, which means Friday October 20th 2017. So from today on I will create a new episode every Friday, starting today with the prompt <i>restart.</i><br />
<br />
Not so long ago I became the chairman of a special advisory body for the managment of the hospital were I am working. This advisory body is purely for the improvement of the possibilities for nurses and the patients. As the chairman I wrote a newsletter for my colleagues with that same title <i>"restart"</i>, because this advisory body was almost gone.<br />
<br />
Okay back to this week's prompt <i>restart</i>. Restart ... is very clear in its meaning I would say and I think it needs no explanation. In nature there is always a moment to restart ... and that's after the dark part of the year, autumn and winter, spring is that restart nature comes to life again ... and for a lot of people (including myself) it's always a joy to see this rebirth.<br />
<br />
alive again<br />
nature celebrates the light<br />
daffodils bloom<br />
<br />

<br />
Well ... maybe I ask to much of myself or of you my dear haijin, visitors and travelers, but I think this is possible to do. Once in a week a new challenging prompt here at Carpe Diem Haiku Shuukan. Be part of this new journey.<br />
<br />
This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until Friday October 27th at 7:00 PM (CET). Have fun!<br />
<br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
During lack of time I hadn't the opportunity to post another episode of our weekly Haiku Shuukan. And time isn't at my side. I have to much to do. I am an oncology nurse and of course the owner and host of the daily haiku meme Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, the base of the most weblogs I have created. Haiku Shuukan is part of what I love to call the Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Family and here I try to inspire you through weekly posts.<br />
<br />
This <span style="font-family: inherit;">week I have a nice quote by Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) for your inspiration. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Khalil
Gibran was born in the town of Bsharri in the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate,
Ottoman Empire (north of modern-day Lebanon), to Khalil Gibran and Kamila
Gibran(Rahmeh). As a young man Khalil emigrated with his family to the United
States, where he studied art and began his literary career, writing in both
English and Arabic. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and
political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern
Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical
school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He is
chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an
early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical
essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool
critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again especially in the
1960s counterculture. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind
Shakespeare and Laozi.</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kahlil Gibran</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />He has written a lot of novels full of philosophical texts and the quote I love to challenge you with is from "Sand and Foam" (1926), it's not so well known as his "The Prophet", but has a lot of wonderful words.</div>
<br />
Here is the quote for your inspiration:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">[...]
"We measure time according to the movement of countless suns; and they
measure time by little machines in their little pockets. Now tell me, how could
we ever meet at the same place at the same time?" </span>[...]</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
And this is what I came up with:<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">seasons come and go</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">every year again, without changes,</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">the circle of life</span></strong><br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
It has been a while, but I finally have found time to bring Haiku Shuukan alive again. Haiku Shuukan is a weekly haiku meme with it's base in the Carpe Diem Haiku Family. I will try to bring every tuesday an all new episode here at Haiku Shuukan and this week I have chosen to use a haiku which I wrote myself to inspire you.<br />
<br />
This haiku I published at <a href="http://chevrefeuillescarpediem.blogspot.com/">Carpe Diem Haiku Kai (CDHK)</a> as the closure of a story about a young shaman who lives in the Altai Mountains. Maybe you have visited CDHK recently than you have seen that last month (November 2015) all our prompts were based on shamnism, tengrism and the Altai Mountains. Feel free to visit CDHK.<br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
My excuses for not posting last Sunday September 13th, maybe that's also a choice to survive. As you all know I am hosting a daily haiku meme Carpe Diem Haiku Kai which gobbles a lot of my time. So to give this revival of Haiku Shuukan a chance to survive I have decided to make this a two weekly "poetry" meme.<br />
<br />
Our prompt for this week is <em>survival</em> and that can mean a lot, but in present time I think this is the most important rule in our world. Look at the refugees from all over the world were the heat is on, for example: the Southern-East European and Asian countries ... they all will survive ...<br />
<br />
As I was preparing this episode I thought of "I Will Survive" <br />
<br />

<br />
Well ... I hope this episode will inspire you to write haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry form. Have fun!<br />
<br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
Welcome at a new episode of Haiku Shuukan. After almost a year I have decided to revive this weblog and so here is the first prompt of a revived Haiku Shuukan, <em>alone.</em>I love to challenge you all to write a haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry form inspired on this new prompt <em>alone</em> and I also have a picture to help you to become inspired.<br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
This week I haven't had enough time to post on time here at Haiku Shuukan. My apologies for that, but sometimes time is not at my side.<br />
This week we will close our journey along the six (6) sounds of the greatest mantra I know "Om Mani Padme Hum". This week "hum" is the prompt and it stands for purifying aggression and hatred (hell realm) as you can read here after:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

entertainment (realm of the jealous gods); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Ni</span></b> purifies passion and desire
(human realm); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Pad</span></b> purifies ignorance and prejudice (animal realm); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Me</span></b> purifies

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sorry ... I am a bit late, maybe that's the consequence of being in the nightshift, but ... well no time for excuses ... let's go and create an all new episode of Haiku Shuukan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This week we are going further with exploring the powerful 'Om Mani Padme Hum', mantra. This week it's the fifth 'sound' , "me" ... I will give the mantra here again:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Om</span></b> purifies bliss and

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Pad</span></b> purifies
ignorance and prejudice (animal realm); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Me</span></b> purifies greed and possessiveness (realm of
the hungry ghosts); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Hum</span></b> purifies aggression and hatred (hell
realm).</span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">As we look at the mantra's fifth sound "Me" than we can see that it purifies greed and possessiveness (realm of the hungry ghosts) and this is what is said about this mantra by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche: </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">"The
mantra <em>Om Mani Pädme Hum</em> is easy to say yet quite powerful, because it contains
the essence of the entire teaching. When you say the first syllable Om it is
blessed to help you achieve perfection in the practice of generosity, Ma helps
perfect the practice of pure ethics, and Ni helps achieve perfection in the
practice of tolerance and patience. Päd, the fourth syllable, helps to achieve
perfection of perseverance, Me helps achieve perfection in the practice of
concentration, and the final sixth syllable Hum helps achieve perfection in the
practice of wisdom. "So in this way recitation of the mantra helps achieve
perfection in the six practices from generosity to wisdom. The path of these
six perfections is the path walked by all the Buddhas of the three times. What
could then be more meaningful than to say the mantra and accomplish the six
perfections?" <o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This fifth sound is connected with the fourth and together with that sound it refers to Wisdom. Om Mani Padme Hum is a very strong mantra and in it self the world of Buddhism ... it offers us the basic rules of Buddhism, one of the pilars of haiku.<br /><br />This sound is about purifying greed and possessiveness, but what is wrong with greed or possession? I am greedy in a positive way:<br /><br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
I am so happy that I have some spare time to create this new post for our Haiku Shuukan ... really it's a joy to have finally a little bit of time to be on time with publishing here.<br />
<br />
This week we are going on with our quest through the six "sounds" of the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum". And this week we have the fourth "sound" of this mantra "Pad". Before I dive in this episode I will share the meaning of "Om Mani Padme Hum" here again.<br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
After not being here for a week, just because I hadn't time to write a post, I am here again to create you an all new episode of our weekly haiku-meme Haiku Shuukan.<br />
As you all know we are busy with the well known mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" and this week we have arrived at the third sound of this mantra "NI" which purifies passion and desire (human realm). Here is the complete mantra and the meaning of the divers sounds.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Om</span></b> purifies

entertainment (realm of the jealous gods); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Ni</span></b> purifies passion and desire
(human realm); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Pad</span></b> purifies ignorance and prejudice (animal realm); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Me</span></b> purifies
greed and possessiveness (realm of the hungry ghosts); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Hum</span></b> purifies aggression
and hatred (hell realm).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
Last week we started with a new series of weekly haiku-prompts and it was fun to make that episode, it's a bit sad to see that there are not that much contributors to this weekly haiku meme, maybe that's because of my choice of prompts or they cannot find the way to Haiku Shuukan.<br />
It all doesn't matter, but I would like to see more contributors. The upcoming prompt is "MA" and it is the second syllable or sound of the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" which means:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Om</span></b> purifies
bliss and pride (realm of the gods); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Ma</span></b> purifies jealousy and need for
entertainment (realm of the jealous gods); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Ni</span></b> purifies passion and desire
(human realm); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Pad</span></b> purifies ignorance and prejudice (animal realm); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Me</span></b> purifies
greed and possessiveness (realm of the hungry ghosts); <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Hum</span></b> purifies aggression
and hatred (hell realm).</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So this week's prompt is about purifying jealousy and need for entertainment (realm of the jealous gods). It means that with this "syllable" or "sound" you become free of jealousy and the need for entertainment. I think <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">"Om Mani Padme Hum"</span></i> is a very strong mantra and I love to share here a video of monks chanting this mantra:</span></div>

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
Here is our new episode of Haiku Shuukan. I love to take you with me into the realm of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Buddhism/Lamaism. And first I love to look with you all to the wellknown mantra <em>Om Mani Padme Hum </em>which has the following meaning:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Om</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> purifies bliss and pride (realm of the gods); <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ma</b> purifies jealousy and need for entertainment (realm of the
jealous gods); <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ni</b> purifies passion
and desire (human realm); <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pad</b>
purifies ignorance and prejudice (animal realm); <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Me</b> purifies greed and possessiveness (realm of the hungry ghosts); <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hum</b> purifies aggression and hatred
(hell realm).</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This wonderful mantra has six (6) syllables, which stand for six (6) Paramitas. "Om" stands for <em>generosity</em> and purifies <em>pride/ego.</em> The color which belongs to "Om" is <em>white</em> and it stands for the deity of <em>Wisdom.</em><br />
<br />
My attempt to write a haiku inspired on "Om" ...:<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">entering Heavens</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">finally purified and without ego </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #a64d79;">I became wise</span></strong><br />
<br />

<br />
Well ... it's a wonderful mantra and I hope to read all wonderful haiku inspired on "Om". This episode is <strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">NOW OPEN for your submissions</span></strong> and will remain open until next Friday November 7th at noon (CET). I will try to post our new episode, <em>"Ma"</em>, later that day. For now ... have fun!<br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
It's almost over our first 26 weeks of Haiku Shuukan. Today I will share the last prompt of these 26 weeks, <em>Zapateado</em>.<br />
<br />
After this week's prompt I will try to create a new prompt-list for Haiku Shuukan until the last Friday of this year ... Why? I am having second thoughts about this weekly haiku meme ... I don't know yet if I am going on with this weekly meme ...<br />
<br />
I have created a new logo by the way for the upcoming weeks here it is:<br />
<br />

Zapateado is a kind of dance ... it's a dance from Spain and Mexico and it's similar with Flamenco and tap-dance. Here I have a nice video with Zapateado ... dancers ... it's a short video, but it gives you an idea what Zapateado is.<br />
<br />

<br />
What a joyful dance this is ... it's a bit similar with "The Lord of the Dance", Irish folk-dance .... but I like this Zapateado more<br />

Dear haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
This week there is a lot to do around Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, our daily haiku-meme. I am busy to "renovate" that weblog together with the contributors there. It's exciting to make plans for CDHK and doing it together with the contributors is just a joy.<br />
<br />
This week's prompt for Haiku Shuukan is <i>Youngsters</i> .... and I think I only will give the prompt and a haiku written by myself for your inspiration.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">cherry blossoms bloom,</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">under an avalanche of pinkish flowers</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">their first kiss</span></b><br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
Our prompt for today, <i>Xenolith</i>, will not be an easy one. I had to search on the Internet to find something about this prompt. And I found the following about <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenolith">Xenolith at Wikipedia</a>.</span></b><br />
<br />
A xenolith
(Ancient Greek:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“foreign rock”) is a
rock fragment which becomes enveloped in a larger rock during the latter's
development and hardening. In geology, the term xenolith is almost exclusively
used to describe inclusions in igneous rock during magma emplacement and
eruption. Xenoliths may be engulfed along the margins of a magma chamber, torn
loose from the walls of an erupting lava conduit or explosive diatreme or
picked up along the base of a flowing lava on Earth's surface. A xenocryst is
an individual foreign crystal included within an igneous body. Examples of
xenocrysts are quartz crystals in a silica-deficient lava and diamonds within
kimberlite diatremes.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Although
the term xenolith is most commonly associated with igneous inclusions, a broad
definition could include rock fragments which have become encased in
sedimentary rock. Xenoliths are sometimes found in recovered meteorites.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
To be
considered a true xenolith, the included rock must be identifiably different
from the rock in which it is enveloped; an included rock of similar type is
called an autolith or a cognate inclusion.</div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Xenoliths and xenocrysts provide important
information about the composition of the otherwise inaccessible mantle.
Basalts, kimberlites, lamproites and lamprophyres, which have their source in
the upper mantle, often contain fragments and crystals assumed to be a part of
the originating mantle mineralogy. Xenoliths of dunite, peridotite and spinel lherzolite
in basaltic lava flows are one example. Kimberlites contain, in addition to
diamond xenocrysts, fragments of lherzolites of varying composition. The
aluminium-bearing minerals of these fragments provide clues to the depth of
origin. Calcic plagioclase is stable to 25 km depth. Between 25 km and about 60
km, spinel is the stable aluminium phase. At depths greater than about 60 km,
dense garnet becomes the aluminium-bearing mineral. Some kimberlites contain
xenoliths of eclogite, which is considered to be the high-pressure metamorphic
product of oceanic basaltic crust, as it descends into the mantle along
subduction zones (Blatt, 1996).</span></span><br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
Another week has gone by and it's time for a new weekly prompt here at Haiku Shuukan. This week our prompt is <i>Wasabi.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Wasabi (Wasabia
japonica or Eutrema japonica), is a member of the Brassicaceae family, which
includes cabbages, horseradish, and mustard. It is also called Japanese
horseradish, although horseradish is a different plant (which is often used as
a substitute for wasabi). Its stem is used as a condiment and has an extremely
strong flavor. Its hotness is more akin to that of a hot mustard than that of
the capsaicin in a chili pepper, producing vapors that stimulate the nasal
passages more than the tongue. The plant grows naturally along stream beds in
mountain river valleys in Japan. The two main cultivars in the marketplace are
W. japonica 'Daruma' and 'Mazuma', but there are many others.<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
I am a bit late with posting this post, but there were other things which were a little bit more important. It's a joy to bring you our new prompt for Haiku Shuukan, <i>Violin</i>, so here it is ... Our new prompt is<br />
<br />
<b>VIOLIN</b><br />
<br />
and this is my haiku:<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">the sound of violins</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">resonates through the summer night -</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">Tchaikovsky comes to life</span></b><br />

The violin player on this video is a Dutch woman named Janine Jansen, she plays the violin like a goddess.<br />
<br />
This episode is <b><i><u>NOW OPEN for your submissions</u></i></b> and will remain open until next Friday September 26th at noon (CET). I will (try to) post our next episode, <i>Wasabi</i>, around that time too. For now ... have fun, be inspired and share your haiku about violin with us all.<br />

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,<br />
<br />
I have a busy today. I am creating a few episodes of our daily haiku meme Carpe Diem Haiku Kai and another new post here at Haiku Shuukan our weekly haiku meme. I had what time left, so I could do more than one posts today.<br />
<br />
This week our prompt here at Haiku Shuukan is <i>Universe</i> that great space around us and the universe needs no further explanation so here is my haiku for this week's episode:<br />
