Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge: Haiga

This week Melissa asks us to create a "'...haiga using a photo or illustration and a haiku."  
She asks that we remember in a haiga "The image is not an illustration for the poem, nor is the poem a caption for the image! Each should be able to stand alone, and neither should need the other to complete it."

      Thank you. I love the kigo phrase "frost coming down month." Plus, it has five syllables!

A - Alphabet Haiku

-
It's April 1st, and time to start the 26 day alphabet countdown.  Every day, with Sundays off, I'll be posting a poem relating to that day's letter.  It may be a form (such as this one for A), a title, a subject, something to do with a prompt.  I fully admit, some will be better than others.  There is still time for you to join in.  www.a-to-zchallenge.com Here we go!  A - Alphabet Haiku  Alphabet haiku is an invented form created by Beatrice Evans.   Invented forms are new poetic structures that do not necessarily follow traditional or established "rules."  Alphabet haiku follows the traditional haiku syllable count of 5/7/5.  The only change required is each word begins with the same letter.   Wet windblown wastelands. Weary white winter weather. Wake, wonderous warmth! ©2024 Lisa Smith Nelson. All Rights Reserved  F will be another A poetry form, the American Sentence.
