Timmy's Journal - 5. Haiku for Poetry Prompt 2
Have to say this was easier for me than Tanka.
These are the two assignments for AC Benus' Poetry Prompts for Haiku. Yes I'm about a year late! But hey, I'm here now.
I had a much easier time writing these than the Tanka. I'm not sure why, maybe because they are less about what I feel and more of what I see.
AC's prompt said that one Haiku to be about Nature the other Urban. You should be able to figure out what season I am writing about, Spring, Summer, Winter or Autumn from these few words. Also you should understand what place I'm describing. If you don't know and want to, just ask.
Nature
Cool winds softly blow
Red and gold leaves fluttering
Geese flying south, go
Urban
Buildings hover high
Between – grass and roses reach
Water fountains, slake
I'm enjoying the challenge of these prompts. I feel like there is so much to learn and try. I find I'm excited about stretching myself and having the opportunity to learn more about the different forms of poetry.
Thanks for reading!!
