Haiku
Sun peeking over
Horizon sees beauty in
What darkness has hid
Silhouette of tree
Reaching to the skies, begging
For Heaven’s moisture
Clouds in purple sky
Natural beauty at dawn
Sun plays peek-a-boo
The NaPoWriMo’s website prompt today was to write a poem based from a picture prompt. They gave four pictures, but I decided to use one I found myself. I also decided to do a few Haiku, as I haven’t done any this month yet. Japanese haiku traditionally consist of 17 on, or sounds, divided into three phrases: 5 sounds, 7 sounds, and 5 sounds. English poets interpreted on as syllables. That’s the easy definition. It can get rather complex, but I will leave that to the experts.
