Hello and a very good day to you. I am attempting to participate in Eugi’s Moonwashed Musings Weekly Prompt – Velvety. It can be any variation of the prompt or the image (below).
Today I am attempting a haiku inspired by this image.
About haiku
Haiku, a Japanese form of poetry, in English, is of three lines with a total of 17 syllables (preferably less). Composed of a phrase and a fragment, it captures one or two moments by using clear and vivid images. A haiku is an unfinished poem – the readers interpret what it means by putting the images together.
A reader should be able to read the haiku and “see” the images from the words. Haiku usually have an “Aha” moment, which portray a spontaneous moment through the juxtaposition of two sharp images, with a reveal or insight or contrast or leap or pun.
Here’s my attempt:
yellow moon
knocks on the balcony window
I bring in the laundry
Well, did it work? Did it create images and a sudden switch? Comments and suggestions welcome.
Thanks for visiting. Have a super weekend.
