Haiku Shuukan #6 use that quote ...


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

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.

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.

Rumi, the Mystical Poet
Here is the quote for your inspiration:

[...] "Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it." [...] Rumi

garden of Eden
just around the corner
no one sees it
