It’s a warmhearted family of haiku poets created by Chèvrefeuille, a Dutch haiku poet.

This month we are finding our inspiration through the novels written by Paulo Coelho. Several of his novels I have used earlier here so sometimes there will be a "deja vu" I think. Today, while I am seeking a little bit time in between the things I have to do, I will use a quote from "Aleph", Paulo Coelho's most personal novel ever. Recently we had an episode about this novel, in our anniversary month, so maybe this quote you will remember. I used it for the first time back in 2014 when we were on a trip straight through the former USSR with the Trans Siberian Railway.
[...] "I am not a foreigner because I haven't been praying to return safely home, I haven't wasted my time imagining my house, my desk, my side of the bed, I am not a foreigner because we are all travelling, we are all full of the same questions, the same tiredness, the same fears, the same selfishness and the same generosity. I am not a foreigner because, when I asked, I received. When I knocked, the door opened. When I looked, I found." [...] (Source:'Aleph' by Paulo Coelho)
A short episode, but well ... enough inspiration I think. Have fun, be inspired and share your Japanese poetry with us all.
This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until December 14th at noon (CET). I will try to publish our new episode later on.
Hi Chèvrefeuille, I posted mine but with a slight variation; hidden dreams needing to be found. I hope this isn't too far off the mark! Have a good weekend 😊
[...] “When composing a verse let there not be a hair's breath separating your mind from what you write; composition of a poem must be done in an instant, like a woodcutter felling a huge tree or a swordsman leaping at a dangerous enemy.” [...]

Sometimes a haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry form comes in mind just in one eye-blink. Those poems I call Impromptu-verses. Here I will publish these Impromptu-verses. Today's Impromptu verse: (11)
Carpe Diem is the place to be if you like to write and share haiku (or another Japanese poetry form like e.g. tanka). It's a family of haiku loving poets.
Japanese poetry is known as the impression of a short moment, say a heartbeat or an eye-blink, in which nature plays an important role.

As you graduate and start to build your own life, you will start to receive wedding invitations from your relatives as well as the friends you spent your high school life or uni life with. When this happens, you will probably have a hard time deciding what to wear on their special occasion looking poise but not upstaging the bride. The best choice for women to wear to weddings without worrying looking out of place is and always will be dresses. Everyone knows that a woman should never ever wear a white dress to a wedding. However, a woman can definitely look stunning in a black dress as it gives a classic sophisticated characteristic. As they always say, black is the new black. This simple yet classy colour will never ever go out of trend. Black dresses may be seen as inappropriate to some people but as time passes, black dresses are perfect to flaunt at weddings especially if it is a night event in a ballroom. Besides that, black colour has the slimming effect which will make you super confident mingling around in your own skin.
For the ladies who prefer to show off their feminine side should opt for a pastel coloured dress. Pastel coloured dresses are perfect to be worn at any weddings as they complement the wedding themes. Other than that, pastel dresses make a woman look soft, elegant and approachable. Pair the pastel coloured dress with a pair of ballerina flats or high heels and go swift through the place with style and look how much of attention you'll get.
The third type of dress suitable for wedding occasions is lace detailed dresses. Laces always have that certain elegant touch in them which makes a woman look effortless. For example, women who want a girly girl look may go for a dress with a lot of embellished laces with lighter colours while the louder women may appear poise with a black lace dress.
Interested ladies who cannot figure out what to wear on weddings and need some new clothes should check out ZALORA dresses online for women collection from various brands. Unlimited choices but I'm sure you'll find the perfect one which fits you like a glove there.
So elegant pastel dresses for wedding ceremonies. In fact I was looking for exactly these inspirations. At local wedding venues NYC we have also been invited to a pastel themed ceremony and so I needed ideas for dresses. You have helped me a lot by sharing this article.

The work will never get done but is just too lovely to be indoors. Set off for the Col du Bac this morning, another walk from our back door into the hills. A steep climb from Chez Maison Bleue is soon rewarded with spectacular views of the valleys and mountains.
It took me around 4hrs to the Col and back, returning via Chalabre. The GR7 signs (red and white stripes) make for easy navigation. Roam as far as you wish among the hills surrounding Sonnac Sur L’Hers; if you like to wander where not many others do, then this region is the one for you.
I agree with most of your points, but a few need to be discussed...November 15, 2016 - 3:55 pm by http://www./
