Haiku Shuukan 1 ('17) restart
Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
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 restart.
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 "restart", because this advisory body was almost gone.
Okay back to this week's prompt restart. 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.

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.
This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until Friday October 27th at 7:00 PM (CET). Have fun!
