Ah, yes: Inspiration. It’s the reason so many of us are here on Medium — to inspire and to be inspired. It’s the moon and the sun, the deepest oceans and the highest stars. Sometimes it’s the devil that whispers to us in the heart of the night, only to be completely elusive when we put the pen to the proverbial paper in the bright sunlight. Tell us in three lines (or sets of three lines, each in classic haiku form) your vision of “inspiration” and what it conjures up for you. This prompt’s twists:

1. It must honor another writer here on Medium, and
2. As with traditional haiku, you must somehow tie it back to nature and/or the seasons

As always, please follow our submission guidelines!

Here’s a sample haiku to…inspire you :-D
