With the start of the New Year (because we're past the winter solstice), I'm thinking more about specific things I can do to create a more sustainable, collaborative community in my town of 10,000 people. Hence my hay(na)ku for the day.

collaboration
vibrant quilts
opinions options solutions

(A haynaku is 1-2-3 words or 3-2-1 if you prefer)

damp rotting leaves
fetid frost

Taking the liberty to do a #haynaku instead of a #haiku for today's #DailyHaikuPrompt (frozen)

armageddon

tidal hate waves

Sending some #peace and #solidarity to everyone out there fighting against hate.

I see you. I'm with you.

dis-ease
seeping sludge

czaricide
Russian tradition
creeping from behind

apologies for doing the #575prompt as a #haynaku but reading about dissent in Russia makes me think of all the people Putin hates falling out of windows. Or off boats.

(for those unfamiliar with haynaku, here's a link to the webpage of it's creator, Eileen Tabios https://eileenrtabios.com/haynaku/

My friend Eileen Tabios (https://eileenrtabios.com/) invented a Philippine word-count poetry form called "Hay(na)ku" (the name, an exclamation, is ironic). It goes: 1/2/3 or 3/2/1. Here's an example I wrote (from my book, PRAU):

ALACRITY

she
wakes up
facing the open

window
the sky
still dark sea

old
poem. venus
a daisy sparkler

above
the horizon.
promises promises promises
