Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over the hosting duties, mostly the supplying of the prompts - only temporarily we hope - while Diane at On the Border is taking a break for health and relaxation, travelling the world with her husband as far as we can tell.
We just hope she's going to take back over once she returns home.
I have something to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others via the links, would you please leave a comment.
Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.

Hver mandag er det tid for at skrive et vers. Det gjorde jeg da også på vej til København i toget. Jeg kiggede ud gennem vinduet og så millioner af anemoner i skovbunden. Senere så jeg et enkelt blomstrende kirsebærtræ. Så skrev jeg hele to små vers. Et elfje på engelsk og et dansk haiku.
Sakura vi ser,
rejser langt og længe, men
hvad med anemoner?
Jeg fik aldrig lagt digtene op i går. Da vi endelig nåede hjem igen, var der tid til en enkelt kop the og så i seng.
I wrote a poem yesterday, riding the train to Copenhagen, but when I returned home, all I wanted was a cup of tea and my bed.
Yesterday, from the train windows, I saw a sea of Anemoner covering the woods. Then I saw a single blossoming cherry tree and made this elfje:
Sakura,
we travel
far to celebrate.
In local woods, forgotten
Anemoner!
