"In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider." King Solomon
The word for today is Joyful
Make a joyful sound
A happy statue shows joy

“I sat me down to watch upon a bank With ivy canopied and interwove With flaunting honeysuckle.” John Milton

What is Carpe Diem? Blog Owner, Kristjaan Panneman, describes it as: "a weblog on haiku. It's a new daily haiku meme where you can write a classical or non-classical haiku on a given prompt. Haiku is an ancient Japanese poetry form. A haiku has three short lines and describes a short moment (as short as the sound of a pebble thrown into water). Mostly a haiku counts 5-7-5 syllables and is sometimes called 'counted verse.'"
