Colleen’s 2020 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 184, #SpecificForm

WELCOME TO TANKA TUESDAY!

It’s the fifth Tuesday of the month! This is our chance to work with a specific syllabic poetry form. Take this opportunity to learn more about the particular form.

This week’s form is:

Haibun


I shall build my home high above the trees on flat mountain rock. Where family may come if they want to follow. Sunday lunch as before, I wait to hear their knock on my door…

My castle built, stands

Cold inside I sit waiting

No knock do I hear…

This is Anita’s first Haibun, and we both hope it is correct…

  3. This is Anita’s first Haibun? Anita, your take on the image is wonderful. You must write this form more often. It suits you. The prose portion gives you more freedom to write about what you love. The Haiku wraps it all up. You’ve got this! <3

    1. Anita will be so pleased to hear this, Colleen… thank you!
