Carpe Diem #555, Cemetery


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

I am a bit late with publishing this post, because I haven't had time to create it earlier today. This will not be a long post. As you all know we have modern kigo for prompt this month all based on "A Dicitonary of Haiku" by Jane Reichhold and today our prompt is cemetery. Here are Jane's examples for haiku about cemetery:

sleeping peacefully
the Best Western Motel
by the cemetery


grave marker
as a cradle headboard
rest in peace
abandoned cemetery
iron keys cross the ground
no one going in

And now it's up to you, my dear haijin, visitors and travelers to write an all new haiku inspired on this prompt.

This episode is NOW OPEN for your submissions and will remain open until September 9th at noon (CET). I will post our next episode, dusk, later on.
