This is in Hay(na)ku form.
“Hay(na)ku is a 3-line poem with one word in the first line, two words in the second, and three in the third.
Hay(na)ku is considered a modern poetry genre, first presented in June 2003. According to J Zimmerman, in a traditional Hay(na)ku, there are:
A tercet: 3 lines.
A total of 6 words: 1 in the first line, 2 in the second line, and 3 in the third line.
There is no restriction on syllables or stressed or rhymes.
Variations:
In the ‘reverse’ haynaku, the longest line is placed first and the shortest last. The total is still 6 words: 3 in the first line, 2 in the second line, and 1 in the third line.
Multiple hay(na)ku can be chained to form a longer poem.”
Its amazing how some people are able to express themselves in few words…i am yet to reach those heights…
this is the first time i am reading a Hay(na)ku..beautiful..gotta try
Thank you so much for the compliment! It is the first one that I have done too and I’m so happy that you liked it. Try it, I think it’s much easier than Haiku is 🙂 Blessings, Terri
