Haibun Clay Birds
I pull back the curtains and open the window nudging aside a stray ornament or two. Already the uncut rose in the garden is offering up swelling rosehips at the very edge of the sill. Newly delivered straw for the garden beds sits in a barrow across the lawn.
beaks wide …
birds on the sill
the scarcity of worms

Today’s (optional) prompt picks up from our craft resource. We’ve challenged you to tackle the haibun in past years, but it’s such a fun one, we couldn’t resist again. Today, we’d like to challenge you specifically to write a haibun that takes in the natural landscape of the place you live. It may be the high sierra, dusty plains, lush rainforest, or a suburbia of tiny, identical houses – but wherever you live, here’s your chance to bring it to life through the charming mix-and-match methodology of haibun.

Born Out. Thank you so much for your kind words. One of my loves, the Haibun.

I think you’ve done an outstanding job on this haibun! Is it okay that I’ve linked up to this poem in my post today: https://unassortedstories.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/born-out/?

Yes, I saw you linked it and that is fine so long as credit is given to me in any or all of my writing.

One of the reasons I like to link up is that I hope it brings new visitors to poems or poets I really like. The other one (I realised later) is that it enables me to revisit some poems I loved. During #NaPoWriMo I read so much that it’s hard to remember individual poems.

When I learn more on the linking I should like to do that, with respect to those whose work I enjoy. Yes, I too try to mark in some way the poems I enjoy or which challenge me in some way.
