The prompt for Carpe Diem Full Circle #1 – 2016 is to use 12 words that are provided, by placing them in successive lines in four haiku. The words are:
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
rainbow in the mist
compliments autumn’s colors
both frame a seagull
crane ruffles feathers
cherry blossoms slowly sway
scent of love stirs all
sunflower reaches
blue sky welcomes upturned face
distant clouds recede
watching butterfly
tasting sweet flower’s nectar
while savoring beer
