Todayβs prompt (optional, as always) is another one from the archives, the hay(na)ku). Created by the poet Eileen Tabios and named by Vince, the hay(na)ku is a variant on the haiku. A hay(na)ku consists of a three-line stanza, where the first line has one word, the second line has two words, and the third line has three words. You can write just one, or chain several together into a longer poem.
Work
finally over
so, what now?
sleep
perchance dream,
nightmare or else
voices
keep chattering
in my head
nerves
jumping crazily
gotta calm self
sit,
eat cake
all is well.
This is the cake I baked today. π

And here I was thinking, “That is the biggest donut I have ever seen!!” Looks delish, Punam! You’re words are delish as well – short and to the point, conveying so much in so little syllables, just right bite-sized pieces to savor.
