Today’s optional prompt is to write a lune. A lune is a sort of English-language variation on the haiku... Let’s try the version developed by Jack Collum. His version of the lune involves a three-line stanza.

2. five words go here next
3. three words again
I like this prompt. Many of us, teachers of creative writing, have adapted poetry styles to teach our students. What I loathe is how some murder haiku and do not understand how it is impossible to do in English. This is the difference between real haiku, and pseudoku.
I taught creative writing to many kids, gr. 1 - 8, as well as to my Pen Men, when I facilitated a creative writing class for men in Beaver Creek Penitentiary.
she lingers long
fingers worry her frowning face

What a wonderful challenge; daily writing does impose a level of discipline...or as is often the case at this end, deadline disorder!! Have enjoyed each of your offerings thus far and of course the interlude of cat-dancing brought a smile or three. Blessings, YAM xx
Hmmm, I learned something new today thanks to you.
We did "pseudoku" in high school. I wasn't any good at it but appreciated the discipline. I've noticed that what many do for haiku now doesn't really follow the "rules."
I might have to join in this month.
I'm a writer, but poetry doesn't come easily for me. You do it well.
Very fitting haiku, given the circumstances of your friend.
I am not a writer, but a lover of words!! And I also enjoy being challenged!!
Have a happy Sunday!!
...isn't this a bit like Haiku?
but it's more with syllables I think.
