holding space

we breathe together

Not Love

Inspired by Michelle’s poem, this week’s W3 challenge (in short): Write 5 separate Hay(na)ku poems, each about a different aspect of love, including (but not limited to) the following:

  • Romantic love
  • Familial love
  • Self-love
  • Unrequited love
  • Enduring/timeless love

Each poem should stand alone but together create a layered meditation on love.

Form: Hay(na)ku poetry series

Invented by: Filipino poet Eileen Tabios (2003). Structure (per poem):

  • Line 1 → 1 word
  • Line 2 → 2 words
  • Line 3 → 3 words

No rules for rhyme, rhythm, or subject beyond the word count.

Check out Michelle’s poem and more detailed instructions below.

W3 Prompt #179: Wea’ve Written Weekly
Haiku & Other Poetry, Random Rants, tutto e niente

falling

Tina Stewart Brakebill

I love the Fall. I love jackets and scarves and boots and hot chocolate and blustery days. But I also love the feel of Fall. I love knowing that the changing colors and the bare tree branches aren’t just about the end of summer. Falling leaves are a vital part of the cycle of life. I also love the crackle under our feet when I’m walking hand and hand with my guy. We’ve had a lot of Autumn walks in our many years together and Autumn really does bring renewed love.

But mostly, I love the BOOTS!

memories unwind

of soft scarves and falling leaves

autumn’s love renewed

the agonies of change

days became decades

forged in fire but still easy

our love endures all
