For Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Special’s “Only The First Line”. In this challenge, Chevrefeuille gives a line that must be used as the first line in our haiku. The first line this time is “Hunger Moon.” From Chevrefeuille: “Hunger Moon” is the name of the full moon of January as it is mentioned inThomas’s Old Farmers Almanac (founded in 1792). During this month the wolves once roamed the countryside, thus suggesting the name wolf moon. In cold and temperate climates of the Northern Hemisphere, it was difficult to find food during January, thus the name hunger moon.
Head over to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai Special and check out this and other special challenges to help inspire your haiku.
Hope you enjoy.

For Carpe Diem #378: Irkutsk. We are stopping in Irkutsk with Paulo Coelho and Hilal on our train trip in Aleph. From Chevrefeuille: We have arrived at Irkutsk where Paulo has an appointment with a few of his readers. His publishers have created a grand party for him with a local singer and local dancers. He has Hilal with him as his companion. Hilal feels free and attracted to a younger man of her own age and she dances with him. Paulo is glad to see that, but also feels somewhat of jealousy.
Head over to Carpe Diem for more information about Irkutsk and to catch up with our journey so far.
Hope you enjoy.

We are passing Tayshet, administrative center for gulag labor camps Oserlag and Angarstroy, with Paulo Coelho in Aleph. From Wikipedia: According to some survivor accounts, between Tayshet and Bratsk there is “a dead man under every sleeper.” Along with Japanese prisoners from the Kwantung Army, German prisoners of war formed a large proportion of the forced labor contingent, generally under a 25-year sentence.
