A different haiku challenge
The Carpe Diem site has several different challenges. The one I’m trying today is to complete a haiku given the middle line.
The given line is:
mists over the foreign highlands
Extra restrictions are that it must follow the classical form and use one more kigo (season word) for Autumn. ‘Mist’ is a classic Autumn word.
I looked up some kigo words and found them inspirational.
Now it is twilight;
mists over the foreign highlands
hide the harvest moon.
Although we only have to produce two lines, this challenge isn’t easy, but on the Carpe Diem site are links to a number of amazing poems it has inspired.

A while back you stopped at my place for ‘CD’ companionship – but I couldn’t find any link for you at that site. So I am visiting this one.
I enjoyed this too – but actually had no visitors here:

but only if you have time…

Thank you for your comment.
I loved your haiku and made a comment, but I’m not sure if blogspot took it or lost it. It found it interesting how you’ve used the same line for such different poems.
