Haiku – Full Circle #1
rainbow embracing
trees in autumn’s bright costumes
seagull view his prey
will the crane skitter
among white cherry blossoms
unite love affair
gazing sunflower
blessings descend from blue sky
graced by shadow clouds
butterfly lovers
savour sweet flower nectar
a drop into beer

For: Carpe Diem Full Circle #1-2016
Let me first tell you what the challenge “Full Circle” means:
I call it ”Full Circle” because the goal is to write haiku with the twelve (12) words I will give. It’s a kind of word-whirl and you have to use the words given in the clock-wise direction. So every word has to come in the line of it’s place on the clock e.g. rainbowyou have to use for line one (1) and autumn for line two (2) and so on.
I will give you twelve (12) words (for every ”hour”) one word. The goal is to write haiku using the words as given in the clockwise way.
Here are the twelve words you have to use as described above:
1. rainbow
2. autumn
3. seagull
4. crane
5. cherry blossom
6. love
7. sunflower
8. blue sky
9. clouds
10. butterfly
11. nectar
12. beer
2. autumn
3. seagull
4. crane
