I’m once again joining the word witch, Colleen Chesebro, weekly poetry challenge, #photoprompt. I came up with three different Haikus for this photo as I played with words. Here is my favorite that turned into a #Senryu.
Train of assured thoughts
Veers off the parallel tracks
I’m green with envy

August 20, 2020 at 1:28 amI didn’t know this type of poetry Lisa!
Really lovely.

August 20, 2020 at 9:01 amMe either, Marie. I’ve been learning about the Haiku and its cousins. Syllabic poetry is a challenge but a good brain tease. Thanks for stopping by, Marie 🙂
