In Tune With Nature
10 July 2019, Haiku/Tanka prompt word “dances”
I can close my eyes
and see beauty that dances
in rhyme with the world
harmonic moving in sync
nature breaks heart open wide
PROMPT: Write a haiku/tanka using the midweek prompt word “dance” (or a derivative).
A haiku is a form of Japanese poetry totalling 17 syllables (in the English language) which are usually arranged in three lines of 5, 7, 5 syllables. It often references the natural world and more modern forms of haiku can also reference human nature.
A tanka is composed of 31 syllables in five lines (5, 7, 5, 7, 7). It can be written in a series addressing the same subject matter.
