Carpe Diem Haiku Kai No. 1361: A New Month starting off

 


Here are the two haiku to work with:

the night is shortened
by your letters on the pillow
here beside me

the road before us
departing clouds bright
with a rising sun

© Jane Reichhold (extracted from: A Dictionary Of Haiku (online version))

The goal is to create a new (third) haiku from these two haiku. You can fuse the actual lines of the haiku, or create a new haiku through association on the both haiku.


the road before us
might be pitch dark during night
together we walk

 
With the theme of „New Horizons“ I also came to associate Lost Horizon and Shangri-La (Novel by James Hilton, published 1933).

the lost horizon
with Ukraine at war
hope for new horizons

golden morning light
wild geese again in the sky
a new horizon
